What is Thai Yoga?
A ‘unique’ flowing style of Yoga
Thai Yoga is a sequence consisting of 120 moves that came about because of the need to train Thai Bodywork practitioners, so that they could attain a specialised flexibility and fitness required to deliver, support and empathise with their art.
Thai Yoga is a continuous flow of movement from one position to the next working ‘with’ gravity, using the breath to help facilitate timing so allowing time for the body to sink and relax into maximum stretch with no holding, working mainly on the floor. A harmony of breath and meditative movement.
Both teacher and student describe it ‘like no other style’ in the way it releases and opens especially the hip flexors, pelvic area, lower back and Achilles tendon.
Western style of sitting on chairs plus modern life patterns, has created a multitude of imbalances and misalignments and shallow breathing. The ‘not enough time’ stress factor has for many virtually disengaged the para sympathetic state which enables the body to become naturally relaxed. Thai Yoga requires using heightened listening skills, relearning not to hold, patience to relax and courage to go deep. Gentleness with no competition.
