Thai yoga therapy is a unique and powerful method, combining acupressure, gentle stretching and applied yoga. When incorporated into a regular Hatha or Yin yoga practice, Thai yoga can bring about healing and benefits.

Designed mainly for teachers but also helpful for students, this workshop will focus on how to incorporate basic Thai yoga therapy movements and skills into a class or a personal practice. Specifically, you will learn basic Thai yoga therapy skills and philosophy, how to sequence a Thai yoga class as well as perform preparation poses and meditations specifically designed to strengthen the practitioner.

Incorporating Thai yoga therapy will help:

• release stress & tension, increase flexibility & suppleness
• increase vital energy, relieve pain and soreness
• increase blood and lymph flow and bring the systems of the body into balance
• learn to read and assist individual structural limitations and practice
