Thai Yoga Massage offers all the benefits of yoga therapy and massage in one modality. Traditional Thai Yoga Massage is performed fully clothed on the floor. Recipients experience a flowing dance of passive yoga-like stretches, with palming and thumbing along sen energy lines (meridians) and marma points (energy points) unique to Thai Yoga Massage.  Thai Yoga Massage is called Nuad Thai  or Nuad Phan Boran Thailand.

I use my palms, thumbs, fingertips, elbows, forearms, knees and feet to massage you in supine, prone, side and sitting positions.  Watch your body unwind as I help you relax into gentle modified assisted yoga postures, each adjusted to your unique body type and condition.  Passive non-weight bearing joint mobilization has been proven to help restore cartilage.
​
Clients report feeling balanced, relaxed, and yet energized at the same time after a session.   These benefits often last a few days. Thai massage was traditionally performed in Buddhist temples, and was in fact part of a system of Thai ayurvedic medicine.  Thai massage will improve circulation, relieve muscular tension, strengthen the immune system, and balance the body energetically.   Like yoga, this therapy is for men and women, young and old, fit and unhealthy. Anyone can benefit from Thai Massage.  You do not have to be fit, strong, flexible or healthy, or be even be able to sit on the floor, or know anything about yoga to receive it. Nuad Thai is an integrative meditation connecting body, mind and spirit.

Other Massage Modalities Available with  Anthony:

Thai Yoga on a Table - $90/90 minutes OR one hour for $60. You can also schedule 120 minute  ($120) or even 30 minutes ($35).  Times include hands-on time only.  Thai massage on a Table are performed on a table fully clothed. Using palming and thumbing techniques, the practitioner targets sen lines, or energy meridians, in conjunction with fewer dynamic poses (asana) and a greater emphasis on sen energy line.

120 Minute (two hr.) Ayurveda Oil Massage with Shirodhara and Nadi Swedana - $165/session:  Treat yourself to a relaxing two hour vata pacifying heated oil massage which includes a deeply relaxing pressurized hosed steam treatment called nadi swedana, that targets aching joints which are the sites of vata accumulation.  The Ayurvedic massage also includes shirodhara which consists of a gentle steady stream of warm oil on your forehead marma points, soothing away mental tension.  Well performed shirodhara induces a womb-like stillness and places the receiver into a deep yogic state of yoga nidra or reclining meditation.  This nurturing treatment performed with loving kindness is excellent for relieving a restless mind, pacifying stress and inviting deep healing. You take home about a quart of shiro oil for self massage.
​
Please Note: Please schedule Ayurvedic massage with Nadi swedana and Shirodhara at least 24 hours in advance.

Vata Pacifying Oil Table Massage - $60/60 minutes: This traditional table oil massage (a blend of Swedish style massage with a few table Thai techniques) is administered on a table with warm oil.

About Anthony r. conArd m.a. (dharmadas)

Picture
               Studio director Anthony began practicing yoga at Kripalu Center in 1986 at age 26. He began teaching yoga classes after ten years of practice. He founded the OM Yoga Studio & School of Thai Massage in 1997.   The studio is small second-story, practice space located in a private residence at 1836 Pershing Blvd., in Dayton Ohio.  Every student receives personal attention according to their needs.  I do ask that you reserve your space at least 10 minutes before any yoga class, or private session.

Anthony likes to say: “Yoga is best studied in a small setting where everyone receives personal instruction because everyone has unique and special needs”.  Classes generally begin with settling in with a short meditation (centering), warm-ups, traditional asana (postures), free flow or “mediation-in-motion” unique to Kripalu yoga and end with shavasana (relaxation) or yoga nidra (restorative yogic rest). The class concludes with a short meditation and may begin and end with pranayama (guided breathing) and dhyana (mediation).  The essence of Kripalu yoga can be stated in five words:  Breath!  Relax! Feel! Watch! and Allow!

Anthony earned his masters degree in anthropology from the University of Cincinnati in 1985, and his background in the study of linguistics, human biology, and non-material culture informs his teaching.   Yogis teach that every sentient being is looking for the self-same loving kindness (metta), self-realization, enlightenment and happiness.  He is experienced in making yoga accessible to all levels of experience in mixed-level classes.  In yoga the beginning practices are the advanced practices!

Anthony studied yoga at the  Kripalu Center of Yoga and Health in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts.   There he trained extensively as an ashram resident at Shadowbrook (Kripalu Center), founded by Yogi Amrit Desai.   He received the Sanskrit name “Dharmadas” and began practicing yoga in 1986.

Anthony is  a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor and teacher of Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage.   He learned to teach Thai yoga Massage from Kam Thai Chow (founder of Lotus Palm) and he is a certified Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage practitioner.   Anthony’s deep interest in the practices that relieve suffering truly sets him apart from gym-yoga teachers and his experiences have shaped him into  an authentic traditional yoga instructor. Our intention is stated in essence by these traditional prayers:

                                                                         May all Beings be happy.
                                                              May all Beings be free from suffering.
                                                       May all Being be free from the causes of suffering.

                                                                                                                                      Metta Meditation

                                                 Asatoma Satgamaya  (Lead me from what is false to what is real.)
                                                 Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya (Lead me from ignorance to knowledge.)
                                                 Mrityorma Amritamgayma (Lead me from limited to timeless being.)
                                                                                                                                      Brihadaranyika Upanishad
