Thai Yoga Massage in Moorgate

Originating from an ancient healing system developed in Buddhist temples, Thai Yoga Massage can also be considered an art.

At its basics, Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate focusses on the general concept of mindfulness; bring one’s attention to the self and the moment.

The idea of Thai Yoga Massage being a practical application of “metta” – a rough translation of “loving kindness” – is also something that is focussed on, encouraging the individual to pay attention to their wellbeing and their needs.

Through Bodywork Massage Moorgate, individuals can access one to one Thai Yoga Massage sessions, implementing the ideas mentioned above through gentle movement, massage, and a quiet and relaxing environment.

The studio’s specialist, Lubna, is an expert in the areas of holistic food coaching, natural cheffing, massage specialisation, and yoga teacher.

Through careful assessment of needs and requirements of an individual’s Thai Yoga Massage session, any individual can benefit from the session.

“Lazy man’s yoga”

Though, in practise, Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate is a complex and practical study of the body, the practise can also be referred to as “lazy man’s yoga”.

When thinking of traditional or typical yoga practises, there is a lot of focus on movement of the body, as well as breathing and stretching. However, when it comes to Thai Yoga Massage, this is facilitated by the yoga instructor or masseuse.

With Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate, Lubna will aid the individuals into different stretches, through clothing, and with no oil.

Therefore, this will seem to many individuals the easier way of carrying out a yoga session, earning it the name of “lazy”, even if the practises are nothing but.

Thai Yoga Massage includes both yoga and massage, taking place simultaneously or one after the other depending on the individual’s needs and requirements of the session. This will be determined and implemented by professionals at Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate, so you will always be in the best hands.

Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate: the basics

At its fundamentals. Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate is focussed on the idea of meridian energy lines and the continuation of flow of this energy.

Typically, many individuals associate meridian energy lines with acupuncture – the most common form of meridian line treatment (1), but this is not to say that this is the only form of treatment that uses this Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory.

Treatments that focus on meridian energy lines are often attempting to restore the flow of energy (or “qi”) around the body, as there is a strong belief that the blockage of this system can lead to an increased risk of suffering from illness and fatigue.

With Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate, individuals can help restore the flow of energy around the body, as well as understanding more about this system through the practise. All questions concerning this approach are welcomed and can be answered by contacting Bodywork Massage directly.

Two styles of Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate: Royal and Common

As Thai Yoga Massage has such historic and religious origins, it is no surprise that many providers of these services follow ancient rules and traditions when practising Thai Yoga Massage.

This mainly comes down to the main two forms of Thai Yoga Massage that are recognised across the world: The Royal Style (rajasamnak) and The Common Style (chalosiak).

The main difference between these two styles is the person who is receiving the massage. For example, members of the royal family would use the Royal Style, as it is a far more traditional and respectful way of practising Thai Yoga Massage.

The Royal Style includes much more ceremonious features, as well as restrictions on the parts of the body that the masseuse can use, eye contact, and distance between the masseuse and the client.

The Common Style, therefore, is the more common of the two styles and is the one most likely to be experienced during Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate.

The main positions of Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate

As Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate uses both yoga and massage, there are some common positions and features that an individual can expect to experience through Thai Yoga Massage.

The most common of these positions are outlined below:

• Palm massage to the back – with the masseur using their palms, they will focus on the lower and upper back, massaging stiff muscles, knots, and other areas of issue while the client lays on their belly.
• Cobra – a common yoga position which some individual may find uncomfortable if they have not practised it before. During Cobra, the masseuse will hold your arms, dragging them behind you from laying on the stomach to stretch the chest and back.
• Forward pull – from a seated position with feet out front and the masseuse standing in front, the masseuse will hold your arms to gently stretch forward, activating and stretching many of the leg and back muscles.

Benefits of Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate

In general, Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate has many positive implications for individuals struggling with a range of issues.

For example, common issues aided by Thai Yoga Massage include:

• Asthma
• Back pain
• Frozen shoulder
• Poor posture
• Pinched nerves (e.g., sciatica)

However, Thai Yoga Massage can also have far more general benefits. The most common of these are outlined over the following two subheadings, highlighting the benefits of Thai Yoga Massage for an individual’s day-to-day lifestyle.

1. Energy

Many individuals state that immediately after they have received a Thai Yoga Massage that they feel more relieved, lighter in the body, and calmer, adding to their energy levels.

Often, individuals can become “weighed down” with their everyday lifestyle, meaning that a Thai Yoga Massage can greatly revitalise them, bringing new energy to their movements and wellbeing.

Through Lubna’s methodology, the individual will be relieved from their feet and upwards, starting at the root of the body and making sure to focus on every area as she moves up the body.

Through massage practises many individual believe that massage must begin from the bottom, pushing energy upward and toward the individual’s core.

This is also working counteractive to gravity, perhaps also adding to the feeling of being lighter and more energetic.

2. Stress

On a more regular basis, Thai Yoga Massage can be used to combat stress.

For individuals who do not cope well with stress or perhaps have a particularly demanding job (both physically and mentally), it is often recommended to attend massages regularly, using the benefits of these sessions to cope with stress and limit its impact on other areas of the body.

Through Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate, individuals can book in for regular sessions, working to rectify any issues that are brought up through stress and that can be rectified through Thai Yoga Massage.

If an individual works 9 to 5 every weekday, for example, they could consider booking a massage every Friday afternoon or evening, helping to reduce the effect of stress on their body and help them to relax more thoroughly over the weekend.

Who can attend Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate?

Thai Yoga Massage Moorgate is suitable for many individuals due to the way in which it can train an individual’s flexibility, joint mobility, and many of the other benefits mentioned thus far in this article.

This makes it an optimal form of treatment for the following groups (though this does not make it exclusive to just the demographics mentioned below):

• Athletes – these are individuals with a high physical demand on their body, often requiring quick recovery, fast turnaround, and little time for injury and/or rehabilitation. Thai Yoga Massage can be used in the cases of specific injuries but can also be implemented more generally to boost the individual’s overall experience of their sport and their participation within it.
• Young people – for different reasons, Thai Yoga Massage is also recommended to many young people as a way of coping with stress. Whether this is school-based, work-related, or for any other reason, young people are especially vulnerable to high levels of stress, sometimes requiring specialised treatments such as Thai Yoga Massage to overcome.
• Seniors/elderly individuals – both physically and mentally, many elderly individuals require additional care and treatments to focus on issues that may occur later in life. Especially concerning joint mobility and flexibility, Thai Yoga Massage can greatly relieve the negative symptoms these areas of issue. Studies have specifically referred to knee pain and flexibility (osteoarthritis, specifically) as a practical application for Thai Yoga and Massage (2), but this is not to say that this is the only area in which this form of treatment may be beneficial for seniors.
