5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for Thai Massage Therapists, December 1, 2002

By A Customer

I first saw Kira demonstrate majority of the Thai Massage moves in Asokananda's advanced Thai Massage Book years ago (I use Asokananda's book extensively as reference!), and I am so happy to see her publish her own book. It is well laid out, excellently photographed, and described. She goes through a basic routine, describing the moves and she also has the actual charts for the sen lines and chakras as illustrated by Kam Thye Chow, who worked alongside Asokananda, and who has his own excellent Thai-Yoga book, which I also highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice moves, July 10, 2009

I have been practicing Thai Massage for 5 years and really, really enjoyed this book. So much so that I'd be interested in booking a session with the Author if I ever got the chance!
