Based on the northern style of Traditional Style of Thai Massage ( Nuad Boran ) Thai Yoga Bodywork is an ancient form of work from Thailand stemming back over 2500 years to the time of Buddha.
In this class, we will pair up with a partner to ground, stretch, twist, breathe and take care of one another while we learn a basic sequence and alternate giving and receiving. Take home a manual and duplicate the practice at home. 2.5 hrs continuing education available from Yoga Alliance.
