Water Yoga and Water Shiatsu (Watsu)

The most famous water therapy is Water Shiatsu which uses gentle movement & acupressure for relaxation. Although this method can be practiced in any shallow body of water but to get its full benefit if carried out in warm mineral water. To get started, you need a partner to help you in certain steps as you go along.

Because of the unique properties of water, people of different fitness and age levels can safely enjoy Water Yoga. Conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, obesity and others can make traditional yoga practice on land extremely difficult. Gravity during standing poses (“asanas’) may also be too great for deconditioned individuals just beginning physical activity after illness or injury. But buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure of the water support the body in all directions making most standing yoga poses easier. Over time practicing the poses in water will lead to greater strength and stability. Often people move on to broaden their yoga practice on land after training in the water.

Aromatherapy Massage

The essential oils used in aromatherapy are the life force of plants from which they have been extracted. To reduce the potency of these oils, you can dilute them by mixing them with carrier oils. These oils affect your mood. They enter through our olfactory system and affect the nervous system, thus improving mood and relaxing or energizing us. These "plant oil hormones" when diluted in a massage base/carrier oil (i.e. virgin coconut oil, sweet almond oil, sesame oil, avocado oil, macademia oil, just to name a few) can be massaged on your body, inhaled, added to your bath or sprayed in the air. When you take "Aromatherapy Massage" with these oils, they are absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin.

Thai-Yoga Massage

Known in Thailand as นวดแผนโบราณ (Nuad phaen boran), meaning "ancient/ traditional massage", Thai-Yoga Massage originated in India and is based on ayurveda and yoga. It was believed that the massage art was brought over to Thailand by Shivago Komarpaj over 2500 years ago. The technique combines massage with yoga-like positions during the course of the massage; the northern style emphasizes stretching while the southern style emphasizes acupressure.

The healing practice of Thai-Herbal Compress Therapy dates back nearly 5,000 years. This herbal therapy was designed to relieve pain and inflammation. A selection of therapeutic herbs, including prai, ginger, turmeric and lemongrass, are wrapped in a muslin compress, steamed and then applied to the body in gentle pressing, circular and rolling movements. In Thailand, the herbal compress is called luk pra kob, translated as “herbal pressing sphere.” To make the compress, a combination of healing herbs is bundled together in accordance with ancient recipes, steamed and placed directly on the skin to soothe muscular aches and swelling.
