“Lazy Man's” Yoga: Thai Yoga Therapy Provides All the Benefits of Yoga
The newest trend in therapeutic bodywork is actually an ancient form of healing originating in India over 2,500 years ago. It is believed to have been developed and brought to Thailand by Dr. Shivago, physician to the Buddha himself. To this day, Thai yoga therapists will invoke the eminent doctor’s name in a prayer before starting their work day. Thai yoga is a blend of Ayurveda, yoga, and Buddhism. There are two distinct styles of Thai yoga or “Nuad Boran” as it is called in Thailand. In the north the focus is on yoga-like stretches and in the south emphasis is on “sen” (comparable to Chinese meridians) or energy lines. In Thailand, Thai yoga is an important aspect of Thai medicine and Thai lifestyle. Originally the monks adopted it as a part of their yogic practice. Today modern doctors will recommend this form of bodywork regularly as part of a healthy routine, equally important as good diet and exercise. Thai yoga is used to not only support and maintain wellness, but also to treat and assist in the reversal of degenerative conditions. |
