Thai Yoga Therapy is a healing system with origins in Thailand and India 2500 years ago. It combines acupressure, compression, stretching, and is considered a passive way to receive a yoga session.
In a Thai Yoga Therapy session the recipient lies on a mat while the practitioner uses their hands, feet, elbows, and knees to release tension in the receiver's body. It's an incredibly accessible way for people to experience yoga if they have an injury or various disability.
The stretches and compression techniques promote relaxation, flexibility, and help bring the body into symmetry. These techniques help open up energy lines, called sen lines, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and improve overall well-being. Thai yoga therapy is done fully clothed and typically without creams or oils.
Come study assisted stretching through the lens of Thai Yoga Therapy with Caroline Hughes, PTA & RYT. These teachings are a gift to give and receive. Prepare to learn a wide variety of manual techniques based in yoga, thai yoga therapy, and physical therapy.
Expect to cover these objectives:
*Get hands-on practice and feedback with students in the class
*Level up your understanding of stretches you can do with your clients to improve their range of motion
*Different styles of touch and how to gauge the correct amount of pressure to specific areas
*Learn a full body Thai yoga sequence you can give to a client or a recipient
*Review anatomy as it relates to Thai yoga therapy
*Review nervous system structures related to touch, pressure, and tapping.
In Thailand, it's common for infants, babies, elders, and everyone in between to receive and give Thai Yoga Therapy. In the West we have somewhat lost the art of touching another person. Consensual touch is one of the most healing tools we can use to relax our nervous systems, receive loving kindness, and partake in an intimately bonding experience.
