Thai Massage and Yoga are part of the same family. Thai Massage originated in India’s yoga system and made its way to Thailand in a modified version. The similarity between yoga stretches and Thai Massage stretches is quite relatable.

Yoga and Thai Massage are a natural combination since they are not only using similar techniques, but also similar principles. Yoga practitioners find Thai Massage a good match, and yoga teachers find the touching elements of the ‘yoga massage’ helpful in their teaching.

Both of these systems have a lot in common and can be easily combined. The main difference is that Thai Massage is a totally passive experience for the receiver, whereas yoga is an active session for the practitioner. That’s why Thai Massage is also called “lazy yoga”.
