Stretch Your Body In Ways Its Never Experienced Before

By Andrew Khor
Ancient Thai Body Work

How many of you have been to Thailand and experienced Ancient Thai Body Work. Well some years ago when I was at a meditation workshop conducted by Katharina Bless in Chiangmai. I decided to experience Thai Bodywork Massage.

And what an experience, this big sized lady used her feet, her arms and her elbows to give me a workout that i will never forget. Luckily for me. she didn't use her teeth!

When I walked out, my feet was not touching the ground. I was that lightheaded. My blood was swimming faster. And I don't know whether I made it back to my room!

Since then I have heard many claims and benefits for this type of bodywork, all complementary. It appears that no one's complaining about their body being all knotted up.

So anyway, K. Kenny, a Malaysian teacher would like to introduce Thai Yoga Bodywork to Malaysians or to anyone interested in learning about it. There is an email attached with all the details and costs of this 5 day workshop.

It's planned for Aug 30th to Sept 3rd. Pls call +603 80606970 or +6012 9105812.

Being all knotted up can be physically rewarding. And besides, learning this is fun.

Bodywork (Nuad Borarn)
Class level 1 – The Foundation

What is it?

Thai Yoga Bodywork therapy has evolved for thousands of years to its present form incorporating the wisdom and practices of the ancients. Nuad Boran , the Northern style ancient Thai massage, as it is known in Thailand has been practiced by monks and is used as a household therapy mainly revolved around family and friends. The ten Sen or energy lines are the main focus in Thai Yoga Bodywork. The massage helps clear the blockages in the energy lines and thus assists the body’s own natural healing process to restore balance.

Application

A typical Thai Yoga Bodywork sequence would consist of acupressure, massage and yoga stretches. The practitioner puts the receiver’s body into yoga postures, which normally they may not be able to experience by themselves, together with light manipulation of muscles and tendons to bring about relaxation and ‘opening up’ with stretching.

Who Learns Nuad Borarn?

Students come from a variety of backgrounds, from beginners to practitioners who wish to further their existing skills and even those who practice yoga and martial arts. Now this art is available in Malaysia to those who are interested to learn the traditional Thai bodywork therapy. Additional skills will surely be helpful to supplement one’s income!

To be complete, a healing system must be able to cover the entire field of human experiences-physically, mentally, and spiritually.
