Thai Yoga Massage

for Couples

Tracy Dietz, CMT

 

Practice yoga and do massage at the same time with your partner!

Inspired by 2,500 years of tradition and a desire to bring peace and domestic harmony into your most intimate relationships, Thai Yoga Massage for Couples is a simple, easy-to-follow practice you can do at home, anytime, in 60 minutes.

Thai Yoga Massage is commonly referred to as "passive yoga" in the West. In this meditative massage, you can practice familiar yoga poses such as the Tree, Cobra, and Corpse pose. What is unique about Thai Yoga Massage is that its done with a partner and both the giver and recipient receive the benefits of stretching, balancing of Sen (Energy) lines, and experiencing peace of mind.

Tracy Dietz/CMT trained at International Training Massage-ITM in Chiang Mai, Thailand, demonstrates a 60 minute massage sequence (which has been abbreviated for the West as in Thailand, this massage is usually 3 hours long -- including a 30 minute Supine or 15 minute Seated position.)

This abbreviated 60 minute version has been specially designed to accommodate the lifestyles of hectic Westerners, their stressed bodies and relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How is Thai Yoga Massage different from other massage forms?

Yoga Massage is different from other massage because it:

~ Brings benefits to both the giber and receiver;

~ One wears loose fitting clothers during the sessions;

~ And one stretches and compresses muscles while working on "Sen" or Energy lines to balance the body.

 

 

How long is the massage sequence?

 

You can do the massage in anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, or for as long as your schedule allows. In Thailand, it's traditionally done for 3 hours -- but Westerners are not there yet!

 

 

How does it benefit both partners at the same time?

 

It helps both partners by quieting the mind first and then giving and receiving stretch to both partners.

This DVD Should Be A Part of Everyone's Home Collection!

By G. Hindin

I have visited Thailand many times and each time I look forward to their famous massages. This DVD is fantastic because it teaches you how to give a traditional Thai massage in the comfort of your own home. While it is marketed as a couples DVD, I have used it with my partner, my family, and my friends. I am an elementary teacher and know nothing about giving a massage, but I found this DVD so easy to follow. The visual, step-by-step instructions are wonderful and the great thing is you can do the entire massage or just segments of it depending on how much time you have. It is set up so you can stop and start it and concentrate on specific areas of the body if you just want to spend 15 minutes giving and receiving. It's a must for anyone who is interested in leaning the traditional techniques of Thai massage. I love it!!!!! Good for Relationships...     By Enlightened Spirit
