Level 3 Certificate in Thai Yoga Massage (Intensive)

Become a fully trained, Thai Yoga massage practitioner with a recognised, level 3 professional qualification.

Be able to give a range of authentic Thai Yoga massage treatments to suit each individual client, from a 60 minutes “short” treatment to a 90 minutes “regular” treatment up to a 2 hours “full” treatment.

Confidently work with your clients in the full-range of positions: in Prone, Supine, Side-lying and Seated positions.

Develop a loyal client base by providing a highly sought-after treatment that is still relatively unknown in the massage world.

Be able to help clients with niggling issues that might have evaded you so far, particularly anyone with shoulder and lower back problems.

Have learned the full traditional routine from one of the UK’s leading Thai Yoga massage teachers who’s been training therapists since 2009.

Over the years of teaching this form of massage, I’ve developed an easy-to-follow approach that allows you, the student, to learn and to develop in the most efficient way. Using my experience of teaching in-class, I have also put together a video course that guides you through the whole process; this part of the course supplements your in-person training, allowing you to have full access to all course materials for 12 months from the beginning of the course.

I’ve split the whole routine into sections with short videos that can be followed step-by-step. The advantage of learning this way is that you can watch the videos over and over and then practise on your model. The importance of regular practice between sections cannot be overestimated and is an integral part of the course.

Your final assessment will take place after a few weeks, once you've had a chance to complete all your case-studies. This date will be agreed on day 5 of the in-person training.

Between the training and the assessment, Kathryn will be on hand via your dedicated WhatsApp group to answer any questions you might have about your home practice. This way, you can be assured you'll be fully supported throughout the course, from the beginning of the training all the way through to your final assessment.

How much time do I have to set aside each week - will I have time to do everything?
You need to set aside 2 hours each week to do your logged case-studies, plus 1-2 hours a week to study the videos. There is minimal written work - just two assignments (maximum 200 words each) across the whole course.

I'm not very bendy - do I have to be flexible to learn this style of massage?
Nor was I when I first started learning TYM! However, through regular practice, you will likely become more flexible. I also suggest alternative versions throughout if you're unable to get into some of the positions. There's always another way!!

If I get stuck, is anyone available and accessible to answer questions?
You'll get a chance to contact me with any questions via your own WhatsApp group set up for each intake of students.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by how much there is to learn. Are you sure I can do this?
Yes, there's lots of learn but it's very manageable. You'll learn in short sections and each section builds upon the other. By participating in all the in-person training, watching the videos and doing the practice, I promise you'll make good progress and won't get left behind.

Isn’t TYM difficult to do? It’s such a painful massage that I’m sure it must hurt to apply that much pressure.
Firstly, TYM shouldn’t be painful! Yes, it can be deep work and your client will feel it, but it’s really important that your client can relax and release into the stretches/compressions. Secondly, like anything, it’s not difficult to do once you know how… As we’re working on the floor, it’s easy to use gravity to create a stronger pressure - you’ll be amazed at how easy it is. In fact, we often have to remind ourselves how strong it can be. And, of course, we get to use our feet which, once we’re in the right position, are incredibly effective and powerful.

Will I get immediate access to all the lessons? 
Once we start your in-person training, you'll have access to all the videos.

Can I pay in instalments?
Yes! Just click through to the payment page and there is an option to pay in 4 monthly instalments of £325.

How many case-studies are there?
You need to complete 24 case-studies. This doesn’t mean 24 different people!! I suggest you do the first 8 hours on 2-3 people, and then broaden it out to more people as you become more confident. However, this is a guide only and we’ll discuss this in more detail on the course.

Will I be fully qualified, insurable and able to work at the end of the course?
Assuming you’ve completed your final assessment on Zoom and completed all your case-studies, then yes, you’ll be fully qualified and can add TYM to your repertoire of massages you offer. 

The course is available to you for a minimum of 12 months after purchase. Please note that the Zoom assessment must be completed within 6 months from the beginning of the in-person training.

The course is a mix of in-person training, video training and live Zoom assessment. 

There are five days of in-person training plus over six hours of video training and your final Zoom assessment

This professional qualification has been awarded a level 3 status and is accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT.org) for those who are level 3 qualified massage therapists.

You will need to practise the techniques you learn throughout the course (this works out as 30 hours of logged case-studies)

The videos are supported by a downloadable pdf manual. All videos will be available for a minimum of 12 months
