This immersion is open to both beginners curious to experience Thai Yoga Massage and start their training journey, and to those with prior experience, wishing to refresh and reconnect with the practice, engaging with techniques through the lens of a different approach. I love working with students coming from different backgrounds and levels of experience.
Through a balance of hands-on practice and theory, you’ll gain tools, insights, and an embodied experience of Thai Yoga Massage as more than a technique - as a way of meeting the other and yourself with compassion and awareness.
