What is Individualized Thai Yoga?

Nuad Boran

Sen Energy Meridians

Individualized Thai Yoga is a one-on-one bodywork that is performed on a mat on the floor. Both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing, allowing ease of movement and flexibility. No oils or creams are used.

Individualized Thai Yoga is a centuries-old, dynamic bodywork, based on Yoga and Ayurveda. Although it originated in India, it flourished in the temples of Thailand. In this unique healing system, also called Nuad Boran, the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of Yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points. In Yoga, these energy channels are called nadis; in Nuad Boran, they are known as sens.

Together, these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.

Nuad Boran flourished as a way for spiritual people to share the benefits of meditation and compassion in a physical form. It is a respected form of healing practiced today in hospitals and temples throughout Thailand.

Joanne Sevika Gorelick, a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), and certified Chair Yoga instructor, teaches yoga both on the mat and in chairs. She is a Certified Health Counselor (CHC), having studied nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, and has been certified by both Columbia University and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). Through her business, Nourishing Pathways, she offers complimentary initial health consultations and a six month program to individuals interested in taking a pro-active stance to improve their health.

Sevika is an Individualized Thai Yoga Practitioner, trained in Nuad Boran by the Lotus Palm School, headquartered in Canada. She is an active member of the Integral Yoga community and offers private sessions at the Princeton center, located in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.

What others have said following their sessions with Sevika

“I hadn't contemplated how deeply moved I would feel. Breathing with another was so wonderful, and allowing the body to be moved and stretched in so many ways allows for such a deep release.”

— Trish V.

“The experience was so uniquely relaxing-- I just loved it!”

— Doug M.

“It feels like a synchronized ‘dance’; you are in synch with the practitioner….”

“… The whole body is taken care of, from head to toe. It is a very complete treatment, working on the flow of energy and resting the mind.”

— Mireille D.

“The experience was really refreshing and rejuvenating. I left feeling more energetic.”

— Noemi D.

“It was almost hypnotically rest-filled. Each stretch or pressure seemed to follow so organically from the one before...”

“…Your hands are very gentle and supportive and I appreciated the energy you brought to the work.”

— Maggie B.
