Learn Thai Yoga Bodywork
Intro Classes (2-4 hours typically)
More than Yoga, More than Massage…
Join David & Misty to experience this healing art to enhance your Yoga or Bodywork practice. During this hands-on workshop we practice in seated or lying positions where you will learn several complete and effective sequences of massage asanas and stretches. Thai-Yoga is an "assisted" style of bodywork practiced with a partner that is easy, relaxing, FUN to learn and manifests instant positive results!
Thai-Yoga massage or "assisted asana" is excellent for yoga instructors who are on their journey to discover new ways to assist students into more satisfying expressions of yoga, and is an invaluable and practical tool for attracting private clients! LMT's can also learn a new, effective, and very lucrative modality.
No need to be a yogi or LMT to learn this! It is for just about anyone! Energy therapy practitioners, health care workers, martial artists, friends, family and couples!
You DO NOT NEED to bring a partner! Please invite a friend or two OR come alone and meet a new friend!

A New and Unique Offering!
Yoga Teacher Assists, Mashing & Thai Bodywork with Ricky Tran & David Tietje
There are two important definitions of the word assist. It can mean to give support and be helpful, and secondly to be present with another, which is the ability to project a sense of ease, or self-assurance. We all could use assurances in life at different times. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be that assurance for others? With practical guidance from a trustworthy teacher, your innate teachings can grow into being.
With over 30 years of combined experience studying and teaching, Ricky and David will share their techniques, resulting in the rhythmic and blissful connections between Yoga, Mashing and Thai Yoga Bodywork.
Thai Yoga Bodywork can be defined as “assisted Yoga”, because many of the techniques can be tailored to deepen a Yoga posture. Yoga assists are similar and both can adopt a very light touch or stronger effort to achieve desired results. The differences are that in Yoga, the client is generally more actively engaged with their teacher, while in Thai, the client is encouraged to be passive. Both Yoga assists and Thai Yoga Bodywork can be like a great massage!
Let’s work together to improve our skills and understanding of these ancient time-honored practices which are being used to improve the quality of life all over the world, and share them with our friends.
You don’t have to be a Yoga teacher or have tons of Yoga or Thai Bodywork experience to attend. CEC’s for Texas massage therapists and Yoga Alliance available upon request for $25.
