Course Description
Thai Yoga Massage is more than just bodywork. As taught by Thai
masters, Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) is a deeply spiritual practice inspired
by the teachings of the Buddha. First and foremost Thai Yoga Massage
was taught and offered in Thai Buddhist temples. While the teachings of
Thai Yoga Massage have now spread beyond the walls of the temple, the
centrality of the practice of metta - loving kindness remains central to
this spiritual art. Practiced with loving kindness and mindful
attention, the offering of Thai Yoga Massage to another becomes a moving
meditation for the both the practitioner and the recipient.

and practice of Thai Yoga Massage. It will enable students to provide
