Thai Yoga Bodywork

Thai Yoga Therapy is a healing exchange of energy, intention and kindness. This unique modality includes the most healing practices from classic yoga that include; gentle postures, fluid movement, breathing, meditation and shared intentional focus with the unique additional knowledge and application of the specific energy lines of Traditional Thai Yoga Bodywork.

In this course you will learn a complete practice of shared movement, energy, intention, focus and progressive healing that takes place through a specific dance between practitioner and client. By using verbal cueing and light touch (not manual manipulation) the client is gently guided into easily held asanas that are appropriate for each individual and then led to breathe into that specific area to balance energy, deepen personal intention, and focus all 5 koshas. The specific energy lines are accessed to stimulate the relaxation response, release of myo fascial tension, untying knots (granthis) and promote health.
