YOGA
The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit. This is the language of ancient India where yoga originated. When we think of yoga, or union, it occurs between the mind, body and spirit. Yoga can be better described by the Sanskrit word asana, which is the practice of the physical poses.
Asana is only one of the eight "limbs" of yoga, the other 7 are oriented towards the mental and spiritual being integrated with the physical activity. Many people think that yoga is stretching. But while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing strength and flexibility. This is done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits. The poses can be done quickly in succession, creating heat in the body through movement or more slowly to increase stamina and perfect the alignment of the pose. The poses are a constant, but the approach to them varies according to the teacher and needs of the student.
Yoga is 99% practice and 1% theory. In the end, the physical aspects bring you into a spiritual awareness of the body and mind.

SOMATICS
Thomas Hanna, Ph.D., founder of The Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training, developed definitive, new methods for eradicating pain and improving mobility. He called this emerging discipline, clinical somatic education. It goes beyond, yoga, strengthening, and stretching in its ability to free and coordinate muscles.
I could describe Somatics as beingv more omni-directional, mentally stimulating and comfortable to do. In one degree or another, it has similarities to Yoga. I like both and each has its benefits.
Somatics is a movement-based teaching most often used to bring relief from complaints typically referred to osteopathy, physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, biofeedback, neurosurgery, and other forms of alternative care options.
Somatics is a means of bringing relief from certain complaints such as: pain and stiffness, numbness, back trouble, regional muscular illnesses, impaired movement) and certain stress-related disorders (e.g., headache). In doing Somatic movements, individuals regain or improve those certain freedoms properly enjoyed by every individual: freedom of movement in comfort and efficient use of their own energy and faculties.

THAI YOGA
Thai massage is an ancient and unique system of bodywork therapy taught and practiced in Thailand for 2500 years. Thai Massage has origins from Tui Na Chinese massage, Ayervedic Indian massage and Shiatsu Japanese massage. Thai massage fluidly and meditatively blends elements of gentle rocking, deep stretching, rhythmic compression, shiatsu, reflexology, yoga postures and breath work to create a singular healing experience. A natural therapy for flexibility, relaxation and energy balance.
This massage is slow and rhythmic, each posture or movement flows into the next. Thai massage is performed on a floor mat with the client wearing loose, comfortable clothing. The effect is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing. Receiving a Thai massage is a bit like doing yoga without putting forth any effort while also getting an acupressure and energetic healing treatment.
