Thai Yoga Massage Basic Course- Quality of Touch and Effective Yogic Stretching

In this Thai Yoga Massage Basic Course, we instruct you to how to touch and feel clients energy flow. Most beginners learn only the sequence for massage, but we focus on feeling, touching and energizing clients’ bodies. You use your whole body to energize the client’s energy flow and you learn several techniques to release and open the energy flow when you find what is known in the west as stiff muscles and trigger points. Various positions are taught so that you can relax isolated areas of the client’s body in order to go deeper into the muscle and fully understand the direction and rhythm of pressure on the energy lines. In Thai Yoga Massage, there are many yogic stretching positions to use with the client during a session. Understanding the direction of muscle fibres, functional anatomy and kinetics will enhance your skills as a massage therapist.

Thai Yoga Massage Basic Course- Functional Anatomy, Deep Tissue and Trigger Points

When you go deep inside the energy lines, you may feel a stiff muscle and/or trigger points. There are various effective positions for releasing tension in these areas. The massage style taught in this school is based on Functional Anatomy so you can find those trigger points and stiff muscles by using several Thai Yoga Massage positions. This new approach was engineered to place importance on a smooth and gradual approach to finding trigger points and stiff muscles, whilst still studying the sequences of stretches. These stretches are designed in a step-by-step format; this enables you to work in accordance with an individual client’s ROM (Range Of Motion) and level of flexibility.
