​This Table-based Course is perfect for students who are looking to explore what Thai Massage is all about!


This course gives you a little bit of what is learned from both the Traditional Thai Yoga Massage Module 1 & Module 2 Mat-based courses and explores Thai Massage sequences and yogic like stretches with the recipient in the Supine, Prone & Side Lying Positions. If you are limited for space in your studio/massage clinic, or cannot get down on a mat to work comfortably on a client, then this course is for you! What you will learn in this course:


• Explore the healing potential of Thai Massage! This 2,500 year old healing wisdom incorporates the use of 'Metta' that is taken from the Buddhist philosophy of imparting loving kindness on all beings and is often referred to as the Lazy Person's Yoga. Recent research has found Thai Massage to have positive health benefits to easing low back pain, enhancing flexibility, lowering blood pressure and opening up the internal energy flow of the body to increase overall health.


• Learn a combination of Northern and Southern style Thai Massage and Passive Thai Yoga Stretches, as it can be applied on the Massage Table - the Practitioner has the option to either stay on the floor, or to move up and on/off the Table. Many possibilities will be explored.


• Learn 10-Reflexology points for the feet, how to work 3-major 'Sen Energy Lines' of legs and arms, Thai Yoga stretches for hip flexors, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, triceps, chest, plus R.O.M. for hips and spine.


• Learn a 60 - 90 min. full body Thai Massage sequence to include massage for back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, face, scalp and the entire lower body.


• All students will be sent a reading assignment in advance of the course.


What is included in the In-Person and Online Self-Paced/Livestreaming course:

• Workbook with pictures and step-by-step abbreviations for all Thai Yoga Massage sequences.

Pre-class YouTube video on the topic of 'Sen Energy Lines' and how to work them.

This is an important module in series of courses, designed to provide the student with a solid foundation of knowledge of how to work Thai Massage in all of the 4-positions (Supine, Side Lying, Seated, Prone). In Module 1, the positions of Supine and Seated are introduced.


The form of Thai Yoga Massage technique taught in this course incorporates gentle rocking, deep stretching and rhythmic compression to create a truly unique and therapeutic massage experience for the recipient. It is both relaxing and therapeutic.


What you will learn in this course:

  • Learn a total of 68-Thai Yoga Massage sequences for the entire body with the recipient in the Supine and Seated positions, from feet up to the head.
  • Learn how to apply Thai Yoga Massage using your feet, elbows, forearms, thumbs and palms to target the legs, feet, hips and back to create a dynamic and unique repertoire for your clients.
  • Learn the history, rules, methods, benefits, directions and abbreviations of Thai Yoga Massage.
  • The use of acupressure, reflexology and compressions will be applied on the 'Sen Energy Lines' to initiate the movement of internal energy in the body. The Sen Lines are similar to those found in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Classroom studies will include work on 3-major lines for the legs (Kalathari, Itta, Pingkala, Sahatsarangsi & Thawari), plus 1-major line on the upper body and arms (Kalathari). The health benefits of working these lines will also be explored.
  • Learn how to perform assisted Inversion Yoga Stretches such as 'Shoulder Stand', 'Plow', 'Frog' and 'Happy Baby', plus some popular Yogic stretches in the seated position such as 'Cat-Cow'.
  • You will have lots of opportunity to both practice and receive on your partner during the course. Each segment begins with introduction and Teacher Demonstration, after which time, students are guided through their practice. Begin with short sequences and progressively lengthen the time. Students have the opportunity to practice a 1-hour Thai Yoga Massage in class on their partner. After your training, you will be able to offer up to a 2-hour massage, if not longer. There is a lot of wonderful material in this course and you will be able to pick and choose and customize your treatments to match the needs of your clients.
  • Sequences of the Thai Massage & Yogic Stretches are presented in a step-by-step sequence in your workbook and include diagrams and abbreviations that describe each step. This makes it easier to follow along for your future practice.
