Thai Yoga
In Thailand, the traditional Thai Yoga Massage is also called as “Nuad Bo Rarn”. It refers to very old therapeutic or holy medicine. This Eastern form of therapy believes that the entire body must be worked on, to treat an illness, and not just one particular part of the body alone.. It also believes that energies gush along a system of channels or lines called ‘Nadis’ or ‘Meridians’ inside the human body. Hence, any unevenness in the flow of energies is connected to ailments.

Thai yoga therapy is an art of healing. It is very popularly called as “The traditional Thai Yoga Massage”. It dates back to Gautama Buddha’s period which is approximately about 2,500 years ago.
