Thai Yoga Massage Basic Training
The Art of Holistic Bodywork
Introduction
Thai Yoga Massage is more than a collection of techniques. It is an art of mindful touch, movement, and connection — an invitation to listen to the body and work with it rather than imposing something upon it.
In this four-weekend training, we will explore the foundations of traditional Thai Yoga Massage. Through palming, gentle pressure, stretching, mobilization, and rhythmic movements, we will learn to approach the body as an interconnected whole.
While traditional Thai Yoga Massage forms the foundation of the course, my teaching is also influenced by osteopathic and craniosacral principles. These perspectives enrich our understanding of the body and invite us to explore qualities such as mobility, rhythm, stillness, and sensitive touch. Depending on the interests and needs of the group, we may explore some of these principles in greater depth.
An important part of the training is learning to work with ease. Rather than relying on muscular strength, we will practice using our body weight, moving from our center, and finding comfortable, sustainable positions for both giver and receiver.
Alongside the techniques, we will cultivate sensitivity, presence, and the ability to adapt our touch to the individual person.
What you will learn
- A complete full-body Thai Yoga Massage sequence, progressing from the feet towards the head
- Traditional techniques including palming, pressure, stretching, and mobilization
- How to use body weight and work from your center instead of muscular effort
- An understanding of the body as an interconnected whole
- How to develop a sensitive, rhythmic, and fluid treatment
- How to adapt techniques to different bodies, needs, and limitations
- How to create a treatment that feels coherent rather than simply following a sequence of techniques
Learning through experience
The course combines demonstrations, hands-on practice, anatomical insights, and time for exploration.
Over four weekends, we will gradually build a complete treatment. Repetition and practice will help you become familiar with the techniques, while the underlying principles will encourage you to develop your own understanding and sensitivity.
The intention is not only to learn what to do, but also to understand how and why we work.
Who can participate?
The training is open to everybody. No previous massage experience is required.
It is equally suitable for beginners discovering bodywork for the first time and for practitioners who would like to revisit the foundations of Thai Yoga Massage from a broader perspective.
Upon completion, participants receive a certificate of tuition from the Sunshine Network.
