Thai Yoga Massage
E1029 - Massage CE Program - 12 CE Hour(s)
In this unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage based on yoga, ayurveda, and the martial arts, the massage therapist guides the client through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points. Together these actions result in a treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.
