Chaan Thai Yoga Therapy Celebrates One-Year Anniversary

Spa Features “Lazy Man’s Yoga,” Offering a Unique Solution to Physical Health and Overall Well Being

Fairfax, VA -- Chaan Thai Yoga Therapy, a spa located in Fairfax, VA, is celebrating its one year anniversary providing traditional Thai Yoga Massage which combines yoga and massage through serenity, synchronization, and meditation.

Chaan owner and president Nid Tositrakul has practiced traditional Thai Massage since he was a young child living in Thailand.  There he provided massage to his parents, a traditional Thai tradition of contributing to the family well being.  His aunt operates her own traditional Thai yoga massage spa in Thailand, and she is his trusted mentor. 

“Chaan incorporates my pride in Thai traditions and history, my experience as a massage client and practitioner, my business education, and my spiritual strengths and training,” said Nid. “My motivation is to provide the utmost care to Chaan Thai guests, to understand their needs and enhance their well being so they can improve their quality of life.”

Since its opening in fall 2006, Chaan has introduced Thai Massage and Thai Yoga Massage to more than 1,000 clients, emphasizing the importance of incorporating Thai Yoga Massage in preventative health and well-being practices. Also known as the “lazy man’s yoga” because the practitioner guides and manipulates the guest into yoga positions, benefits are realized without the perceived exertion. Thai Yoga Massage practitioners use pressure points, muscle stretching and compression, to help improve flexibility, stimulate blood circulation and relax body tension. 

“The goal of the Thai Yoga massage experience is to eliminate stress and muscle tension, creating balance and harmony to one’s body,” said Nid Tositrakul, Chaan Yoga Thai Massage’s president and general manager.  “Our guests realize the benefits of a massage that works the whole self, mind and body, to produce lasting, individualized results.”

Chaan Thai Yoga Therapy offers a traditional Thai spa environment uncommon to the metro D.C. area, including a highly skilled staff, trained in their native Thailand.  All of the staff are graduates of Wat Pho, internationally recognized as the preeminent school for Thai Massage. The facilities and décor at Chaan Thai emulate the most exclusive resort massage spas in Thailand.

 “Visiting Chaan Thai Yoga Therapy is best described as taking a vacation to Thailand without leaving the metropolitan area,” said Nid. 

 In an effort to kick off Chaan’s second year and continue to emphasize the importance of maintaining the balance between body, mind and spirit, Chaan will add small, personalized yoga and meditation classes to complement its unique menu of massage services.

Chaan Thai Yoga Therapy is open daily from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm and is conveniently located at the intersection of the Capital Beltway and Route 50 in Fairfax at 8300 Arlington Blvd., Suite C3 Fairfax, VA 22031.
