[.ca] Thai Yoga Massage: A Dynamic Therapy for Physical ... (ISBN 0892819375)

Great except for one very key point:
(I currently have the German version of this book, but I assume that the English one includes the same info.) I have just finished a course in Thai massage, and the traditional technique, as taught by Asokananda (aka Harald Brust), the man who brought Thai massage to the Western world, does NOT begin in the sitting position. Asokananda teaches the importance of beginning a massage at the feet, and then working upwards. From what I understand, this is important because Thai massage balances the energy in a body and the flow must go upwards through the chakras to the head. That said, this book includes some excellent photographs and the rest of its content is extremely helpful to anyone learning Thai massage. I think that Asokananda's book should still be the starting point for everyone, though.

Excellent source:
Kam Thye Chow's book is fantastic. You will not be disappointed.

easy to learn this massage techinique:
thorough, user-friendly, and helpful.

Thai Yoga Massage: A Dynamic Therapy for Physical Well-Being and Spiritual Energy:
An absolutely wonderful book. A complete step by step guide with full pictures and descriptions of the practitioner and client's positions. History and diagrams are informative. Kam Thai Chow is a Master of great Excellence! I am signed up to study wherever he goes!

perfect.:
Finally a book that lives up to the title. Nicely written, stays w/in the scope of the book - clear photographs included. Good primer on the subject.
