Thai Yoga Massage is a dynamic bodywork that offers all the benefits of yoga-therapy, and assisted stretching in one modality. Thai Yoga Massage essentially consists of passive non-weight-bearing joint mobilization, performed fully-clothed on a special floor mat. Passive non-weight-bearing joint mobilization has been proven to help restore cartilage and improve range of motion and mobility. Recipients experience a flowing dance of passive yoga-like stretches, with "palming and thumbing" along sen energy lines (meridians) and marma points (energy points) which are unique to Thai Yoga Massage. Thai Yoga Massage is called Nuad Thai (Thai-style massage) or Nuad Phan Boran (ancient-massage) in the Thai language.
"I use my palms, thumbs, fingertips, hands, fists, elbows, forearms, knees and feet to massage you in supine, prone, side-lying and sitting positions. Watch your body unwind as I help you relax into gentle assisted yoga-like postures, each adjusted to your unique body type (dosha) and condition." - Anthony
Clients report feeling better, more relaxed, and yet at the same time feeling energized after a good session. These benefits often last for days. Thai massage was traditionally performed in Buddhist temples, and was in fact part of a system of Thai Ayurvedic medicine. Please know that I am not in anyway qualified to treat or diagnose any medical condition. Thai massage might improve circulation, relieve muscular tension, strengthen the immune-system, and balance the body energetically.
Like yoga, this bodywork is for men and women, young and old, fit and unhealthy. Anyone can benefit from Thai Massage. You do not have to be athletic, strong, flexible or healthy; or be even be able to sit on the floor, or know anything about yoga to receive it. Nuad Thai is performed as an integrative matte-meditation connecting body, mind and spirit.

About Anthony r. conArd m.a. (dharmadas)
Studio director Anthony began practicing yoga at Kripalu Center in 1986 at age 26. He began teaching yoga classes after ten years of practice. He founded the OM Yoga Studio & School of Thai Massage at age 36 in 1997. The studio is small second-story, practice space located in a private residence at 1836 Pershing Blvd. in Dayton, Ohio. Every student receives personal attention according to their needs. I do ask that you reserve your space at least 10 minutes before any yoga class, or private session.
Anthony likes to say: “Yoga is best studied in a small setting where everyone receives personal instruction because everyone has unique and special needs”. Classes generally begin with settling in with a short meditation (centering), warm-ups, traditional asana (postures), free flow or “mediation-in-motion” unique to Kripalu yoga and end with shavasana (relaxation) or yoga nidra (restorative yogic rest). The class concludes with a short meditation and may begin and end with pranayama (guided breathing) and dhyana (mediation). The essence of Kripalu yoga can be stated in five words: Breath! Relax! Feel! Watch! and Allow!
Anthony earned his masters degree in anthropology from the University of Cincinnati in 1985, and his background in the study of linguistics, human biology, and non-material culture informs his teaching. Yogis teach that every sentient being is looking for the self-same loving kindness (metta), self-realization, enlightenment and happiness. He is experienced in making yoga accessible to all levels of experience in mixed-level classes. In yoga the beginning practices are the advanced practices!
Anthony studied yoga at the Kripalu Center of Yoga and Health in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. There he trained extensively as an ashram resident at Shadowbrook (Kripalu Center), founded by Yogi Amrit Desai. He received the Sanskrit name “Dharmadas” and began practicing yoga in 1986.
Anthony is a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor and teacher of Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage. He learned to teach Thai yoga Massage from Kam Thai Chow (founder of Lotus Palm) and he is a certified Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage practitioner. Anthony’s deep interest in the practices that relieve suffering truly sets him apart from gym-yoga teachers and his experiences have shaped him into an authentic traditional yoga instructor. Our intention is stated in essence by these traditional prayers:
May all Beings be happy.
May all Beings be free from suffering.
May all Being be free from the causes of suffering.
Metta Meditation
Asatoma Satgamaya (Lead me from what is false to what is real.)
Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya (Lead me from ignorance to knowledge.)
Mrityorma Amritamgayma (Lead me from limited to timeless being.)
Brihadaranyika Upanishad
