Hi, Any plans for a Introductory Thai Yoga class, single day – six hours, that would fulfill the annual Texas MST CEU requirement? This approach would be more appealing to a broader audience due to time constraints.
Thanks,
Greg
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I’m new to the blog and website and didn’t get a note about your post.
I’m new to teaching these classes and trying to make it workable for students. I appreciate the feedback about time and the state’s CEU requirements. It’s important that I keep open communication lines with the public and potential students to understand expectations. I’m unsure if doing a 6 hour class would really allow me the space to do an introduction to Thai Yoga Massage. Due to the current structure and the complexity of the work I’ll keep it as a two day/14 hour class. Down the road when there is sufficient interest I want to teach a certification track that will be over 50 hours. This course is the introduction and the work flows into the certification class.
In working with Thai Yoga Massage we’re encountering some new concepts and physical differences related to working on a mat on the floor. The introductory class is designed to give you some experience on the floor then bringing the work to the table as a transition in your bodywork. It’s designed to give you a sense of a completely different way of working with people. Working on a mat, on the floor, doing this work I’m using my feet, heels, knees and lower body in a way most westerners are unfamiliar with. To most it’s more yoga than massage though I feel it fits squarely right in the middle. My experience of learning Thai Yoga Massage made me realize that I’d been working on people from the waist up, all heart…no dantien or hara. Thai Yoga Massage allows you to use your full body to access a client’s mobility and help them with muscular and joint restrictions.
Due to the fact that we’re using new tools I feel it necessary to go beyond what the state’s requirements are for CEU’s.
If you want the work, come get a session. I’m sure you’ll feel it’s worth whatever price and time constraints you’re up against. I had one Thai Yoga Massage then decided I’d taken everything my teacher taught and I did!
got your mailer… am sooo interested but i am in south austin with a young child… 9 am is a bit difficult… any other times or dates?
Is it just the 9am start time? If you need to show at 10am I’m sure we can work it out due to the small time difference. It’s a considerable investment time wise and economically but these aren’t your typical CEU classes in my opinion. There is a large amount of information being distilled and you’ll get far more than you pay for.
In the future, I plan to teach classes in south Austin as well, possibly at the Amala Foundations off of Lamar. The sooner I hear from enough people expressing interest in a class in South Austin the faster it happens. If the students are excited and want it, I just need to hear from them to get consensus and make it happen.
