Thai Yoga Massage is an elegant and interactive form of meditative bodywork that combines assisted yoga stretching, acupressure, gentle rocking, and rhythmic compression along energy lines. In this 2-day workshop, participants will learn to effectively use their hands, forearms, elbows, and feet to open and gently release blockages that inhibit the flow of energy, or Qi. Essential elements of Thai Yoga Massage, its historical context, and fundamental techniques applied in the supine, prone, side-lying, and seated positions will be taught.

Participants will receive a complementary workbook with photographs and detailed descriptions of an introductory sequence, which comprise a 60-90 minute basic full-body Thai Yoga Massage session. The course will have lecture, demonstration, and hands-on components. Class will begin each day with a yoga warm-up routine. Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion for 16 NCBTMB, THAI, and Yoga Alliance CE hours.
