- Learn how to apply Thai Yoga Massage using your feet, elbows, forearms, thumbs and palms to target the legs, feet, hips and back to create a dynamic and unique repertoire for your clients.
- Learn the history, rules, methods, benefits, directions and abbreviations of Thai Yoga Massage.
- The use of acupressure, reflexology and compressions will be applied on the 'Sen Energy Lines' to initiate the movement of internal energy in the body. The Sen Lines are similar to those found in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Classroom studies will include work on 3-major lines for the legs (Kalathari, Itta, Pingkala, Sahatsarangsi & Thawari), plus 1-major line on the upper body and arms (Kalathari). The health benefits of working these lines will also be explored.

- You will have lots of opportunity to both practice and receive on your partner during the course. Each segment begins with introduction and Teacher Demonstration, after which time, students are guided through their practice. Begin with short sequences and progressively lengthen the time so that students have the opportunity to practice a 1-hour long Thai Yoga Massage treatment on their partner.
- After the training, students will be able to offer up to a 2-hour massage, if not longer. There is a lot of wonderful material in this course and so that students may customize treatments to match the needs of their clients.
