Thai yoga massage stems from an ancient healing system combining Indian Ayurvedic principles of marma, assisted yoga postures, and acupressure. The founding father of this massage was an Ayurvedic doctor named Jivaka Kumar Bhacca, who was is still revered as the “father of medicine“. Born in India during the time of the Buddha, he is noted in ancient documents for his extraordinary skills, his knowledge of herbal medicine and for having treated important people of his day, and as legend has it, including the Buddha himself.
