What’s covered in the Diploma course?
You will learn the fundamentals of Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) and will be able to give a range of different treatments lasting between 1 hour and 2 hours, as well as “taster” sessions. This includes Thai yoga massage in all four positions (supine, prone, side-lying and seated), and working the Sen (energy) lines. Classes are kept small to ensure close supervision (maximum student:teacher ratio of 6:1).

Course Overview
Thai yoga massage is a very different form of bodywork. It takes time and a lot of practice to learn the many different moves and approaches that are required to give a good Thai yoga massage. The structure of this Thai yoga massage course is designed to nurture and develop our students into becoming excellent practitioners. The whole routine is split into sections that can be learnt and developed through home practice. The importance of regular practice between teaching blocks cannot be overestimated and is an integral part of the course.

Every Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) taught session includes two demonstrations of the sequence; each student gets many opportunities to receive a sequence from the tutor throughout the course. The sequence is then demonstrated in small, “bite-size” segments which the students practise on each other under close supervision. In addition to classroom sessions, students will receive an in-depth manual with colour photos as well as life-time access to the full video-training course.

Course structure
The course lasts 7 days over roughly 4 months and includes an assessment day and a business training day designed for massage therapists. This is an intensive course and is supported by videos to aid home-study.

After each training session, students will be expected to build their hands-on experience of TYM with logged case-studies. There are a total of 80 teacher/student contact hours. In addition there are 125 hours of home-study including case-studies. The final assessment will be an observed massage treatment once all home-study has been completed.
