In the temples of Thailand many centuries ago, a dynamic bodywork
therapy based on yoga, ayurveda, and the martial arts was born. In this
unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage, the practitioner guides the
recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing
along the body's energy lines and pressure points. Together these
actions result in a treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves
circulation, boosts the immune system, and balances the body
energetically.
In this paperback edition of Thai Yoga Massage, Kam Thye Chow not only
leads readers through every aspect of this ancient bodywork therapy
using more than 125 detailed, step-by-step photographs, but he also
demonstrates the techniques for performing a one-hour massage in the
accompanying DVD. Kam Thye Chow is one of the world's foremost
practitioners and has taught massage in Thailand and throughout Europe
and North America. With this text and DVD set, his personal training is
now available for those who wish to see the techniques demonstrated live
as a complement to the points discussed in the text.
