Thai massage is good for all body types. Postures, pace and intensity are customized to each individual; any postures that could be unsuitable - to either the client or the practitioner - can simply be left out. Like yoga, there are thousands of Thai Yoga Massage postures. One could learn a new posture every day for the rest of one's life, and never know them all.

Kam Thye Chow, founder of Lotus Palm School discusses the Lotus Palm Method: the Four Basics of Thai Yoga Massage and that's me, demonstrating (what an honour!)
In this video I'm discussing the Thai Yoga Massage Mat and accessories available exclusively at Lotus Palm
Below (and above too, actually) I'm working on Anne-Marie who is a yoga instructor, so she's very flexible - it makes for good video effect :-)
But if you're thinking, "Oh, I'm not flexible, that's not for me", then Thai Yoga Massage is exactly what you need. And if you've always thought about trying yoga but don't know where to start, then Thai massage is a good first step. Let an experienced professional safely place you in gentle yoga postures and apply gentle stretching, while respecting your body's limitations (or pushing them, if you're ambitious!)
I hope you enjoy my Thai massage video snippets. Metta y'all!
