Lax Work-Study Wellness Enhancement 

What is Thai Yoga?

Thai Yoga is a traditional therapy of Thailand based on the ancient Indian Ayurvedic principles of heath and healing. Attention is given to the whole person by incorporating meditation, yoga postures and manual compression following the various Sen (energy lines) along the body. As you apply pressure and intention to the body, both the physical pathways of circulation and energetic pathways are able to open and help the body heal itself through balance. Thai Yoga is intended to benefit both the giver and receiver by using efficient movement without compromising safety in body mechanics.
