Along the ancient trade routes between India and China, knowledge and wisdom of healing, medicine and spirituality was exchanged. Situated between the two worlds was the renowned Kingdom of Siam what we know today as Thailand.
Influenced by Ayurveda ( Vedic pre-India medicine) and Chinese Medicine, Thailand through a strong history of Ruesi's ( ascetic sage's), Healers, and Traditional Medicine Doctors, evolved and retained their own Traditional Medicine, of which one branch includes Traditional Thai Massage. The heart of this tradition, coupled with technique, and knowledge which has been passed on, and evolving for centuries, is cultivating one's own ability to offer 'metta', or loving kindness. As the cliche holds true, before we can truly help & love others, we must learn how to help & love ourselves. Wild Lotus Yoga, we recognize Yogic Sciences, Ayurveda, Traditional Thai Medicine as a comprehensive paths to optimal well being and personal/spiritual growth. We offer retreats and programs that can both support you in deepening your personal practice, while cultivating the experience and skill necessary to confidently offer thai massage to others. |

our story
The lotus in asian cultures, is a symbol of enlightenment. It is the holy flower that the Buddha sits upon, the flower that rises up from the mud to bloom in beauty, in purity of mind and heart. In the west, what is wild is all that remains in its natural state. We believe that, Yoga & Thai Massage are practices that can support you to return to balance and harmony, in your mind, body and heart while gifting that presence to another being.
