Thai Yoga, is an exercise practice that would take you to a place of relaxation and better physical and mental well-being.
Thai Yoga is a series of exercises that Giovanni developed by combining the teaching of Pichest Boonthumme, a Thai Massage Teacher, and the Myotherapy training at the RMIT in Melbourne.
Pichest’s teaching is about experiencing the body and body-mind connection through a dynamic and individual approach based on breathing, body awareness and acceptance. Thai Yoga are exercises helpful to work on physical tensions by combining Thai Massage principles and Myotherapy knowledge.
Along with the benefit of this practice, we find improvement in mobility and motility.
For mobility, we refer to the capacity of the body to move and have great fluidity within the movement.
We refer to the body’s shape in the 3-dimensional space for motility.
Thai Yoga is not a generic Yoga class, so most luckily is something that you have yet to experience.
This practice is not based on stretching or pushing yourself into a fixed posture or a dynamic flow of movement, either at a high or slow speed.
Thai Yoga is more about learning how to use breath, gravity and body bio-mechanics to access body tension and relief them.
And thanks to Giovanni’s anatomy and physiological knowledge, he can guide you to understand better what is happening to your body along those exercises.
Breathing
Learn how to practice and engage the benefit of the breathing wave technique.
Breathing is at the base of life.
Therefore it needs more attention and dedication.
Awareness
How does the body feel? Where do we store tension in the body? How can we prevent those body tensions?
It is time to take action about it.
Relaxation
Combining breathing and awareness of the breath and the body sensation that arises with it would create a deep relaxation feeling that can be mastered throughout the practice.
