Dates

Thai Yoga Massage is a healing art that restores balance to the body. This therapy uses passive yoga to open energy lines in the recipient.
By the end of this Level 1 training, students will be able to offer a complete 1.5-hour Traditional Thai Massage session, working confidently in four positions: supine, prone, side-lying, and seated.
This training is suitable for those wishing to work professionally, as well as for those who want to share Thai Massage safely with friends and family.
Many students integrate Thai Massage into their existing professions (yoga teachers, therapists, bodyworkers, healers), while others choose to dedicate themselves fully to Thai Massage practice.
The course is taught by a senior teacher trainer with over 13 years of experience training Thai Massage therapists internationally.
