What is Thai Yoga Massage?
Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) is an ancient healing art that combines the alignment of the breath, yoga asana, and mindfulness meditation of Metta (loving compassion) into a flowing dance of continuous rhythmic motion to deliver a soothing and revitalizing experience. TYM is based on an understanding of the energy lines and acupressure points present in each person. By working along these lines and points, the modality balances the energetic body of the recipient and frees & removes any blockages that may present in physical, mental, or emotional dis-ease.
A Thai Massage session results in restoring a healthy, balanced energetic flow to the recipient. A session can be complete on its own and may also be incorporated into other modalities of massage, yoga, or personal training.
Details of the Training
This 30 hour, 4-day training will cover how to give a full 1.5 - 2 hour massage.
