Called “Nuad Boran” or “ancient healing” in Thailand, Thai Yoga Bodywork is a sacred healing treatment that integrates traditional Thai medicine, elemental theory (similar to Indian Ayurveda), and Buddhist spiritual practices.

Unique from other types of bodywork, Thai Yoga Bodywork is also a form of Yoga Therapy that combines rhythmic movement, assisted Yoga poses, acupressure along pathways of movement in the body, healing energy work, and meditation.

This is a great add-on for yoga teachers, massage therapists, bodyworkers, energy workers, or anyone wishing to learn more about this amazing style of healing with roots in Yoga and Ayurveda.
