Most forms of Eastern Bodywork (Thai Massage, Shiatsu, Breema & Tantsu) are practiced on a mat, with clothes on and include the following basic elements...

1. Compressions or Palming
2. Stretches
3. Rotation of Joints
4. Rocking & Shaking
5. Brushes
6. Stimulating Pressure Points
7. Creating Energetic Flow Along Meridians

These elements are blended into a graceful combination of movements and manipulations that transform the experience into a flowing meditation.
