Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Massage is a beautiful combination of rhythmic acupressure and opening yoga stretches, blending beautifully into a blissful and healing experience. Whereas Swedish and Deep Tissue massages take place atop a massage table, Thai massages take place upon a floor mat. This allows the client a more complete range of motion — which comes in handy. Rather than just using hands, fists, forearms and elbows — the standard tools of the Swedish masseuse — the Thai masseuse may use legs and feet during the massage. Oftentimes, they will use a combination of both to gain leverage as they initiate deep stretches of the client's arms, legs, hips, and shoulders. Since no oil is required in a Thai massage, the client may remain fully clothed. Comfortable, relaxed, fitting clothes are recommended so the clothes don't become constricting during the session. The more you relax into a Thai massage, the more you'll feel at ease and knot-free afterward. Guests may opt to receive their Thai Massage indoors or outdoors. The open-air porch creates a blend of nature and relaxation that is unparalleled.

What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture consists of the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points along pathways shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health problems. The Chinese have mapped these points for over 2,000 years, with more than 1,000 acu-points. In the past three decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of these points.
How does acupuncture work?
TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is based on the ancient Chinese theories of the flow of Qi (the life force which nourishes the body) through channels that cover the body in a similar fashion to blood vessels or nerve pathways.
The insertion of needles into acu-points may:
- Strengthen Qi where it is weak
- Move it from areas where it is stuck
- Drain it from channels where it is too abundant
Similarly, acupuncture can have the same effects on Blood (which nourishes and guides Qi) and Essence (a sort of prenatal Qi inherited from our parents). By adjusting the flow of Qi, Blood, Essence, and other vital substances in the body, acupuncture restores homeostasis in the body. There should be no pain or disease if Qi is flowing freely through the channels and Yin and Yang energy is balanced.
