The Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage emphasizes using the least amount of effort to achieve maximum results. Training focuses on the skillful use of proper alignment, body mechanics and positioning of the practitioner in order to employ one's body weight instead of exertion. There is strong emphasis on safety and on easy, flowing transitions from one posture to the next.

As such special attention is given to the effects of the massage on the skeletal, circulatory, muscular and nervous system.
Lotus Palm teaches a form of Thai Yoga Massage that caters to the tastes and demands of Western society. It takes into consideration how people in North America tend to overuse their back, neck and shoulders and wish for considerably more attention to those general areas.
