*NEW 2013: Thai Mas­sage: referred to as “yoga mas­sage,” Thai Mas­sage (Nuad Boran) is an ancient heal­ing sys­tem from Thai­land that com­bines pas­sive yoga move­ments, stretches, mas­sage, and acu­pres­sure. The under­ly­ing inten­tion of Thai mas­sage is to clear block­ages in the body’s energy lines, which in turn frees the body to be more bal­anced, flex­i­ble, and open. Thai mas­sage is given on a mat on the floor, with the client dressed in loose, com­fort­able clothing.
