Workshop Description:
Based on the northern style of traditional Thai Massage (Nuad Boran), Thai Yoga Bodywork is a sacred and ancient healing treatment that integrates Yoga, Ayurveda,and Buddhist spiritual practice. Unique from other types of bodywork and massage, Thai Yoga Bodywork is also a form of Yoga Therapy that combines rhythmic massage, assisted Yoga poses, acupressure along energy meridians, healing energy work, and meditation. Students will pair up with a partner to give and receive (yay!) as you learn the techniques. This workshop is also highly recommended for those planning on registering for Tanya’s 300hr. Thai Yoga Bodywork Practitioner Certification Program.
Health in eastern philosophies is regarded as a state of balance between these energies, where all the systems of the body, including mind and spirit, function in harmony with each other.
