This course will teach you all the basic aspects of Thai Massage and will enable you to practice in the UK. It is suitable for:

Complete beginners thinking of starting a career in bodywork.

People who simply wish to learn an effective massage to practice on friends and family.

People already working with alternative therapies who wish to further their studies.

Yoga and Pilates teachers, osteopaths, physiotherapists, dancers and sports people, who will find Thai Yoga Massage invaluable for increasing their hands-on skills.

Personal Development:

As Thai Yoga Massage is deeply rooted in a Buddhist tradition, we will start every morning with Yoga and Meditation practice as a preparation for the day ahead. We will focus on metta (loving kindness) and vipassana (mindfulness) meditation, which are the underlying principles of the massage. Yoga postures and pranayama develop the sensitivity to energy flow and are nourishing the own system. You will learn tools how to keep your own energy strong while working with other people.

The course consists of 12 lessons (72 hours). Each lesson begins with a lecture and demonstration, followed by supervised practice. An optional morning meditation and yoga session is offered. There will be a final assessment and you will receive a certificate of attendance.

Accreditation

If you decide to practice Thai Yoga Massage professionally, you will have to complete 30 full body massages and write an essay of your choice related to Thai Yoga Massage. You will have to take a theoretical and practical exam on your return in the UK with the School of Thai Yoga Massage in London and provide a certificate of a 55 hours Anatomy and Physiology training, which can be done at a local college or through the school. If you already a practitioner this will not be necessary.

I will be available for any questions or practice days during your accreditation period. After qualifying, you will be accepted onto the Traditional Thai Yoga Massage Practitioners Register and by the Complementary Therapy Association.
