Thai Yoga Massage Level 1 Online
In this course you will learn a comprehensive 90-minute massage with live Zoom sessions, recorded practice sessions, and one-to-one mentoring support .
Areas of Study

- Effortless transitions between postures
- An introduction to contraindications and safety
- Care for the client and practitioner before, during, and after the massage
Our Method
This is a very practical training, with 90% of our time spent observing, giving, or receiving massage. You’ll have a chance to practice each massage sequence several times in our live zoom workshops, then receive recordings of each session so you can review and practice between sessions, and after the course is complete.
This course emphasizes direct experience and practical learning. Training focuses on the skilful use of proper alignment, body mechanics and positioning of the practitioner. There is strong emphasis on safety, accessibility, and on easy, flowing transitions so that giving a terrific massage always feels good.

What Is Thai Yoga Massage?
Thai Yoga Massage is a traditional massage therapy practice that combines assisted stretches, massage, acupressure, energy work, and meditation. Thai Yoga Massage is practiced fully clothed on a floor mat and is an accessible massage option for people of all ages and abilities. Highly beneficial and deeply relaxing to receive, this method is also of benefit to the practitioner – it feels good to give a Thai Yoga Massage, like doing a gentle yoga practice.
