Yoga Thai Massage is an ancient tradition that originated from the migration of the Buddhist monks in Thailand approximately 2500 years ago. This technique is similar to yoga: it is practiced on a floor mat and has many wonderful benefits for your health. It combines a mindful mix therapeutic touch, stretching, energetic work and meditation.
Do not worry: you do not need to be a professional massage therapist to give a really good massage! This workshop experience is open to all levels of yoga practitioner. The range of movement and flexibility of everyone participating is taken into account.[*]
