Thai Yoga Bodywork & Massage
/Thai yoga bodywork is a more active approach to bodywork that is performed on a padded floor mat instead of a table. You remain fully clothed and no oils or lotions need to be applied. The therapist will use various parts of his or her body to open energy channels and break up toxins that are stored within your body. Passive stretching and gentle pressure along these energy channels releases the skeletal structure, increases your flexibility, and softens your muscle tissue.

Thai Yoga Bodywork Session Types
Available in Eden Prairie
Thai Yoga Bodywork
Your therapist uses various techniques to stretch and lengthen, open energy channels, and break up toxins that are stored within your body. Passive stretching and gentle pressure along these energy channels releases the skeletal structure, increases your flexibility, and softens your muscle tissue. Spine, hips, neck, and limbs are addressed. Massage and wellness packages apply for these sessions.
Gentle Thai Yoga Bodywork
With a goal of relaxation, and following the same concepts of traditional Thai bodywork, this gentle session is rhythmic and slow moving, using light pressure to address sen energy lines in the face, arms, hands, lower legs, and feet. Spine, hips, and neck are minimally addressed/not addressed during a gentle session. This session includes time with a Chi Swing Balancing machine and optional hara (abdominal) work. A gentle session is ideal for anyone with chronic pain, back issues, or those who are looking for a more “zen” version of traditional Thai bodywork. Massage and wellness packages apply for these sessions.
Tok Sen Massage
This form of massage therapy makes use of a small mallet and wedge to stimulate the energy points and lines of the body. Tok Sen refers to both the application of the massage as well as the tools/instruments used during the massage. “Tok” comes from the sound that the mallet makes when hitting the wooden wedge, and “sen” relates to the energy lines addressed in traditional Thai medicine. What really makes Tok Sen unique from other massage modalities is the combination of deep vibration produced by the wooden instruments with manual pressure and passive stretches. This blend transforms body, mind, and energy and reinstates well-being. Dress in yoga shorts, tank top or sports bra. Please avoid wearing long pants or long-sleeved tops. Lotion and fractionated coconut oil are used during these sessions.
Herbal Compress Upgrade
Upgrade your Thai yoga massage with a relaxing yet uplifting heated herbal compress with countless benefits for the body and is frequently used to aid in muscle and soft tissue aches.
