Getting Started

Attention: These exercises are not recommended for those with conditions such as Hypertension, Diabetes n1 or whilst pregnant. 

This video is designed to provide you with a brief understanding of Thai Yoga.

The son of teachers, Giovanni has an inherited ability to present these exercises classes in a succinct manner, using well-crafted analogies to explain the exercise practice as well as any difficult concepts.

In this first video Giovanni does an introduction about Thai Yoga and he does focus on, the practice of breathing wave.

Thai Yoga – Feet Exercise 

In order to be grounded, it is best to start with exercise on our feet.

To practice this exercise, Giovanni will instruct how the breathing wave can create pressure on the plantar foot. Using a golf or tennis ball, he demonstrates how to open the plantar fascia which will release the tension along the whole leg. As the fascia connection from the plantar, runs along the back of the leg, the pressure applied to the plantar fascia, will release tension from the hamstring as well. 

Thai Yoga – Shoulder exercise for Stress Management

In our fast-paced modern world, Stress plays a major role in our everyday life. Often, we tend to accumulate stress on our shoulders. In this video, Giovanni demonstrates an exercise to offer a quick fix and a good way to reduce stress and shoulder tensions. 

Thai Yoga – Exercise for Forearms

Now we have worked successfully on our shoulders, we move down the arms. In this and the following videos 6 and 7, Giovanni will show you exercise to release the tensions from your forearms.

Thai Yoga – Thoracic Mobility 

Along the previous exercises we used a golf ball to release tension from feet and shoulder. Now, is time to move along the thoracic area and improve the thoracic mobility. The thoracic area and the facet joints of this area are mobile joints and are essential to ensure that the upper cervical area doesn’t get overloaded with tension.

Thai Yoga – Cervical Mobility 

Now, having already exercised our Shoulders, Hands and Forearms, we will complete the upper limb area, with an exercise for the neck.

It is important to protect the delicate nature of the neck, movement for this exercise must be conducted in a slow and gentle manner.

Thai Yoga – Exercise for Hip Flexors 

Having completed the exercises on the upper limbs of the body, we can start now focus on the lower limbs.To start the lower limbs, we must complete exercise for hip flexors.

Thai Yoga – Lumbar Tension Release and SI Joint opening

The lumbar area is a good area to focus on too, as it is reach in tension and if blocked can lead to slow down other body area, such as the thoracic and cervical. In this video we are looking on too how open the lumbar joints including the SI Joint. Please be aware that if you had any injury to the knee and or lumbar area, this exercises may not suit your needs. So please take care as you practice it.

Moving down and medially now. This exercise is one of my favorite, as it is simple to do, mostly pain free and is great to release tension off the legs. Not ideal for who suffer from High Blood pressure or Diabetes n. 1, so please watch out.
