Thai Bodywork (Nuad Boran) is a mixture of traditions that blends Chinese Meridian Therapy with applied Ayurvedic Hatha Yoga. Using the traditional mat style, sessions focus on massaging important acupressure/reflexology points along energy lines running throughout the body to treat health issues and relieve pain. Another important aspect of this type of mat based bodywork is that the client is led through various yoga postures using the practitioner’s mindfully applied pressure to physically stretch the client’s body in synchronicity with their breath. Thus, stagnant energy blockages are stimulated to release and re-balance, invigorating the overall vital energy of the body.
