Thai massage

Experience a millenary healing technique

Thai massage is a traditional therapy that combines acupressure techniques, stretching and passive yoga movements to balance the circulation of vital energy and release possible existing blockages. Unlike other types of massage, it is done on a futon on the floor and the receiver remains dressed in comfortable clothes. During the session, the therapist uses hands, elbows, knees and feet to apply pressure and perform stretches.

It is believed that this important legacy has been influenced by several sources, which were integrated with the practices and wisdom already existing in Thailand. It has influences from India, from Yoga and from what would later become Ayurveda; from China, and what would later become Traditional Chinese Medicine; and from Buddhism, among others. The Buddhist monastic community travelled from India to other Asian countries to spread the Dharma, and its practice merged with the traditional medicines of each region or country.

About me

Carlos Mira

During my university studies I came into contact with Yoga, and since then it has been part of my life. When I finished my degree I dedicated myself to its study, its practice and its teaching. It was a good time of personal discovery and introspection. As time went by, I decided to leave its teaching and fully embark on a new discipline that brought together everything I longed for, Thai Massage, a meditative, silent practice, with yogic influence and Buddhist overtones. Since then I have dedicated myself to studying with teachers and colleagues from all over the world, to practising it and sharing it.

I thank all the people, masters and teachers who have crossed my path, for their teachings and advice.
