Thai Yoga Massage Course in Thailand
Thai yoga massage and Thai massage are the same tradition. What a Thai yoga massage course in Thailand covers, how long it takes, what it costs and who it suits.
Short answer
Thai yoga massage is the Western name for traditional Thai massage, which combines pressure along energy lines with assisted stretching. At Michael Thai Massage School both parts are taught in the 150-hour Thai massage course, which takes 19 days and costs 4,900 THB, with a Ministry of Education accredited curriculum and a bilingual certificate.
If you searched for a Thai yoga massage course, you are looking for traditional Thai massage. The "yoga" label was added abroad because of the assisted stretches that make this style unlike any other.
What it actually is
| Part | What happens |
|---|---|
| Pressure | Thumbs, palms and elbows along the body's energy lines |
| Stretching | The therapist uses body weight to move the client through stretches |
The client stays clothed and works on a mat. They do nothing. You do the moving.
The course
Both parts are taught together in the 150-hour Thai massage course: 19 days, 4,900 THB, accredited curriculum, bilingual certificate. There is no separate "yoga" module to buy.
Who it suits
- Yoga teachers and bodyworkers adding a hands-on skill
- Therapists who want a floor-based routine that protects their hands. See therapist body pain
- Anyone working with active clients. See sports massage career
Safety
Stretching needs a clear grasp of contraindications, especially joints and the spine. Health massage is not medical treatment. Clients with injuries should see a doctor first.
