Welcome to Unconditional Yoga
Thai yoga massage
What is Thai yoga massage?
Thai yoga massage is a soothing and introspective deep tissue stretch and massage done on a large floor mat (larger and thicker than a yoga mat).
The practictioner places the client into passive yoga poses, and applies traditional Thai massage techniques using her hands, forearms, and feet.
This is a quiet practice, honouring introspection and focus of both the practictioner and client. Speaking is limited to questions, as well as giving and receiving feedback.
