Thai Yoga is many things and can be many more. It depends on the necessity, desire, focus and skill of the practitioner in harmony with the necessity, desire, receptiveness and presence of the client. It is direct action of a healthful and beneficial nature. It is the expression of undiluted loving kindness in physical form. It is a picture of compassion made concrete and available in tangible form. And why not? Why should impartial, cold and sterile medical science be more productive, effective and appropriate than healing science based on the expression of one's love? For thousands of years real life experience has proven otherwise. Thai style healing therapies my be the most significant advance in physical medicine for the management of chronic pain and resulting disability. Thousand's of clients have received, finally, relief from chronic back pain, migraine headaches, soft tissue disorders and syndromes, complications of inflammatory process, lymphadema, joint pain and emotional disease and distress through this form of healing touch. The Dancing meditation of Thai Yoga is also special in that it seems to perfectly support and integrate with virtually every other conceivable healing method from Chiropractic and Osteopathy to Cranial Sacral and Chakra balancing. It's energetic focus on Prana, Chakras, Lom and Sen lines or Thai "meridians" is similar to that of acupuncture and shiatsu.

Thai Yoga and or Thai Massage is not the same as "Massage, Massage Therapy", and or "bodywork" as commonly defined in so called "Massage Laws". The term "Thai Massage" is western slang, mostly promoted by tourist in Thailand. Although the use of the term is now common, it still is misunderstood and mis-used by the un and/or mis-informed. It is easy to be confused as similar words used, such as "Massage" but legally there are distinctions and differences in definitions... In law specific words may have different meaning and weights than those same words commonly associated by ordinary "Non-legal" or in lay speech/ speak. For example: "Massage and Massage Therapy" definitions are based on the general practice of what is term "swedish massage". So called "Swedish Massage" is new (less than 100 years), Western (Europe and America) and defined legally as "the application of a system of structured touch, pressure, movement and holding to the soft tissues of the human body with the purpose of positively affecting the health and well being of the client. The practice includes the external application of water, heat, cold, lubricants, salt scrubs and other topical preparations and devices that mimic or enhance the actions of the hands."
