Our SomaVeda Integrated Traditional Therapies® Thai massage (Traditional Thai Medical Massage, Thai Clinical Massage Therapy) training program comprises twenty-five (25) unique CE and professional classes. Everyone starts with the introductory Fundamentals of Thai Yoga, SomaVeda® level One, or the 164 hr. SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certificate Retreat (Level One is included in this course!). Certification and CE courses are offered frequently throughout the year and in several locations to serve you and make it easy to schedule according to your life and budget.
Our Thai massage training classes are suitable for all levels, so we welcome massage therapists with no prior Thai massage training and those who have studied at other schools. Each course in our training program provides a thorough grounding in the basic principles. However, as our facilitators are expertly trained, they can quickly respond to advanced and clinical applications of the materials presented in every class.

Explore in detail the “Lanna Thai” or Northern Style Chinese and Hill tribe influence on hands-on healing by learning the eight basic flows of the SomaVeda® Northern method. These flow (Traditional Vinyasa), although similar to those of the ITM, Old Medicine Hospital, and Mama Lek Chaiya style Traditions, are taught in a manner and context with supplemental information unique to the SomaVeda® program. Typically taught in Thailand in ten days, we have cultivated the “Express” version for Western students and presented the same and more information in only seven days! This course is an Indigenous Traditional Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy training and certification program. It is recommended for Thai Yoga Therapy Practitioner and Thai Yoga Therapy Teacher certification.
I have been teaching and offering professional courses in Nuad Boran, Northern or “Lanna” style Traditional Thai Medical Massage (Thai Marmachikitsa-YogaTherapy) since becoming a recognized teacher in the Northern Style under several different Lanna schools and traditions as listed above. We temporarily suspended this Nuad Boran instruction due to the pandemic. However, we are excited to offer LIVE, in-person certificate courses again. As a recognized Ajahn and Master of this regional Style of Thai Traditional Medicine, I look forward to bringing Nuad Boran, Northern Style Thai Yoga: SomaVeda® Level Three, to you and your practice and clients, friends, and family. This is an Advanced SomaVeda® Certificate course which means there are prerequisites required for attendance. Please email or call the office if you’re uncertain whether you qualify to attend.
Understanding the Energetic Anatomy and Physiology, the Ten Principles of Sen, Nadis, and Chakras are deepened. Basic Western anatomy and physiology as it applies to the SomaVeda® Nuad Boran (Chiang Mai style) are introduced now. The role of the breath in partnership within the therapeutic encounter is discussed and practiced more intently. The course is predominately hands-on, with a thorough introduction to the underlying philosophy and energy theory. This course focuses on using Puja or intentional affirmations and mantras in healing. This course originates from the Shivago lineage; we will learn and practice the Om Namo Mantra daily. This class is “hands-on” and quite intensive. It is designed to take your SomaVeda® Thai Yoga therapy experience to a higher level.
· During this course, the student establishes contact with a genuine lineage and learns how to facilitate the healing energy of the ancient masters through the practice of Puja, Wai Khruu, and healing affirmations.
· After completing this course, students will: the student can perform the Nuad Boran beginner Vinyasa or Catalog flow with a partner. Students can incorporate the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Nuad Boran catalog into their existing SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practice.
· Understand the essential elements and theory of Classical Thai & Classical Indian Ayurveda anatomy and physiology.
