Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient system of healing that has its roots in Ayurveda, yoga's 'sister science' of healing. Thai Yoga Massage has been evolving over centuries in Thailand, and now sees a dramatic rise in popularity in the West due to its deep relaxation and therapeutic benefits. Thai Yoga Massage is practiced fully clothed on a floor mat and combines the best of Yoga and Massage in a dynamic fusion of assisted yoga postures, massage, acupressure, energy work and meditation. Thai Yoga Massage is customized for each individual to release tension, improve muscle flexibility and tone, balance the nervous system, and provide deep relaxation to body and mind. Thai Yoga Massage is practiced fully clothed on a floor mat and is accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. We like to think of Thai Yoga Massage as "dream yoga", you lie down and relax and receive, and when you are done it's like you have had a massage and a yoga practice in one!

Yoga Trinity offers comprehensive training in Thai Yoga Massage both for personal development and professional accreditation, and is the only Lotus Palm certified school in Australia. Courses include study, practice and experience not only in giving a skillful and highly beneficial massage, but also in cultivating a successful and rewarding professional Thai Yoga Massage practice.
Students completing Yoga Trinity programs join one of the largest and most established networks of Thai Yoga Massage practitioners in the world. Lotus Palm is a world leader in Thai Yoga Massage training and Yoga Trinity courses remain faithful to the Lotus Palm curriculum, thus students who complete training through Yoga Trinity can apply for Lotus Palm certification at the completion of their programs.
Our Method
The Thai Yoga Massage method emphasizes using the least amount of energy to acheive maximum results. Training focuses on the skillful use of proper alignment, body mechanics, and positioning of the practitioner. There is a strong emphasis on safety and on easy, flowing transitions from one posture to the next.
Perhaps the most vital element in the practice of Thai Yoga Massage is to bring the spirit of unconditional love and compassion (Metta) to your work. With spiritual awareness you generate your natural healing powers and develop genuine satisfaction that comes from within.
Our Thai Yoga Massage programs establish 4 basics which are your foundation:
- Moment to Moment and Lovingkindness meditation
- Stances which establish proper alignment
- Rhythmic Rocking which sets the flow of the massage
- Massage techniques
Every posture, every movement is built from this core.
We adhere to an integrated approach which honours the tradition of Thai Massage and establishes its Indian Ayurvedic heritage but which tries to blend the strengths of both Eastern and Western approaches to healthy living. As such, special attention is given to the effects of the massage on the skeletal, circulatory, muscular and nervous system.
Yoga Trinity teaches a form of Thai Yoga Massage that caters to the tastes and demands of Western socieety. It takes into consideration how people in North America tend to overuse their back, neck and shoulders and wish for considerably more attention to those general areas.
