Course Description:
Thai Yoga Bodywork, also known as Thai Massage or Thai Yoga, is an ancient and sacred healing treatment from Thailand that integrates Yoga, Ayurveda, and Buddhist spiritual practice. Unique from other types of bodywork and massage, Thai Yoga is also a form of Yoga Therapy that combines assisted Yoga poses, rhythmic massage, acupressure, energy work, and Buddhist meditation. It helps receivers release blocked areas and stimulates the flow of healing energies within the mind, body, and spirit.
