Thai massage & Assisted Yoga Teacher Training

Join Michelle for her popular 50hr Thai Massage & Assisted Yoga Teacher Training Course.

This course is back due to popular demand giving you the opportunity to learn the magic method of Northern Style Thai Massage that will support ALL bodies no matter the age or ability. Northern Style Thai Massage is also known as ‘lazy man’s yoga’ and is perfect for clients who have special needs physically and/or mentally.

This course gives you the tools to be able to support healthy mobility for clients who for whatever reason cannot stretch themselves safely or easily. This training will also give you the scope to share Thai Massage both personally & professionally with friends, family and the broader community. This is the perfect tool in your tool-belt when offering private client sessions or wanting to be able to soothe & support those near & dear to your heart.

You will learn over 4hrs of hands-on skills for simple & safe adjustments that Michelle has refined and improved for the last 20 years.

Michelle is an internationally certified Thai Massage trainer and has been blending her wisdom between both yoga asana adjustments & Northern Style Thai Massage techniques for the last 20 years.

This training covers both Level I & 2 modules:

Level I – Foundation of Thai Massage Level I Thai Massage establishes the foundation of a professional Thai Massage practice. The concept of meridians, energy lines (Sen), Yin and Yang are all introduced. This course will cover practical aspects such as stretches, acupressure points, proper use of body weight and techniques using thumbs, palms, elbows and feet. Additional emphasis is placed on deep-focused abdominal (Hara) work. Upon completion students will be able to complete an effective 1–1½ hour Thai Massage.

Level II – Intermediate Thai Massage Level II Thai Massage expands on techniques learned in Level I. You learn how to massage the side, back (prone) and in the sitting position, including advanced yoga like stretching movements for the whole body. Upon completion students will have a firm foundation of the major positions and techniques of Thai Massage and will be able to complete a comprehensive 1 ½-3 hour Thai Massage

WHAT OUR graduate STUDENTs SAY

What an awesome week learning, studying and growing!

Thai massage training was not only a great opportunity to learn new skills, but an awesome experience to further connect with some incredible members of the Essence of Living community.

So let me just start by saying I’d do it again, no questions asked!

Throughout my journey I discovered some limitations within myself which I was able to overcome under Michelle’s loving guidance & in the process stumbled upon self-growth unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

I still can’t quite put my finger on this internal evolution, but I have come to accept and surrender to whatever I needed to release.

This led me to realise that whether I was studying Thai massage for internal or external reasons I’d somehow met both through the training. It has given me the confidence to grow and share from a deeper more aligned place.

This was by far was the biggest thing for me.

This was closely followed by the awareness I’d developed about different people’s needs beyond the physical.

Finally, from this experience I now know that things are happening for a reason, life is playing out as it’s meant to, and it’s our mindset that colours the path we’re walking upon.
