Thai Massage with Kristin Honey

Thai Massage (Thai Yoga Massage), known as Nuad Borarn or “the ancient way of healing with hands”, is a synthesis of assisted Yoga, various forms of Massage, Acupressure, Buddhist Meditation (Metta), and Ayurveda. It is a unique, sacred, ancient system of healing developed in Thai temples over 2,500 years ago and is considered a vital and integral part of health maintenance by the people of Thailand.

Founded in India, Thai Massage uses no oils, a padded mat on the floor, and you, as the recipient, are fully clothed in light and loose comfortable clothing. In this form of bodywork, you remain entirely passive as the practitioner guides you through a series of stretching movements similar to Yoga asana, applying rocking motions and pressure using feet, hands, forearms, thumbs, knees.

Thai Massage aims to restore your balance and harmony - energetically and muscularly, and creates a deep state of relaxation and well being. Other potential benefits:

• Increase of flexibility and range of motion
• Decrease of tightness of muscles
• Improved circulation
• Relief of some pain
• Release of stress and deep or superficial tension
• Assists alignment and postural integrity
• Promotes inner peace and a quieted mind
• As in Yoga, a sense of feeling simultaneously relaxed and energized
• Supports the heath, wellness and connection of mind, spirit, body

As a student of Buddhist philosophy, meditation and Yoga, Thai Massage is the perfect compliment for Kristin as it blends aspects of all of these practices. She completed her introductory course with Kam Thye Chow, Level I with Deanna Villa and Paul Cramer, and Level II Certification with Kam Thye Chow in Montreal.

My experience with thai massage is that it has been different each time, but wonderful each time. If I had to summarize, it feels like I’ve had a great, total body workout or a deep practice of Yoga, but I didn’t have to do anything! Words that come to mind include invigorating, calming, muscle awareness, openness, relief, happy, rejuvenated. If I could have a thai massage every week, I would!! G.M.
