Pre-Requisite: None. No bodywork, yoga or massage experience necessary, but students must be able to do the work. Thai Yoga Bodywork is practiced on a Thai Futon on the ground, and some squatting/kneeling is part of the practice. We recommend taking our Intro to Thai Yoga Bodywork workshop if you are able to see if the practice will work for you.
Based on the northern style of traditional Thai Massage (Nuad Boran), Thai Yoga Bodywork is a sacred healing treatment that integrates traditional Thai medicine, elemental theory, and Buddhist spiritual practices. The first spiritual roots of this ancient system date connect to over 2,500 years ago at the time of Buddha in India, and were carried through the Buddhist teachings into SE Asia. These teachings merged with traditional therapies of the region at that time and because what we now call today “Traditional Thai Medicine.”
Unique from other types of bodywork and massage, Thai Yoga Bodywork also combines rhythmic massage, assisted Yoga poses, acupressure along pathways of movement in the body known as the “Sen,” healing energy work, and meditation.
