We are continuing the work begun in SomaVeda® CTP1. A strict prerequisite on the CTP1 or higher SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certification is required. This Advanced SomaVeda® Program is offered as a Seminary of the NAIC and suitable for all NAIC Authorized Ministers, Practitioners, and Teachers. During this Level Three Certification Program, we will offer NAIC Ceremony, Sacred Sweat Lodge Purification/Healing Instruction, and practice.

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.

Introduction to Martial Arts Traditions: SomaVeda® origins! We will discuss and explore the role of lineage and traditions, philosophy, and actual technical applications of the traditional martial arts, which are the birthplace of Nuad Thai and the SomaVeda Integrated Traditional Therapies® Thai Yoga system: Buddhai Sawan Krabi Krabong & Muay Boran, Inosanto Mahapolindo, Lee Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, Pekiti Tersia, Kali, Pencak Silat, Wing Chun Kung Fu and so much more!

New Up Dates for LearnThaiYoga OnLine Learning Platform March 2023!

March 6, 2023 by Thai1on

Traditional Thai Yoga Therapy, also known as Thai Traditional Massage, is the fastest-growing and most sought-after healing modality in the world today. Of course, the best way to learn is in a live class with a Master Teacher or Thai “Ajahn,” such as at the Thai Yoga Center in Brooksville, Florida, studying with Ajahn, Dr. Anthony B. James, and or his trained and certified SomaVeda® Thai Yoga staff Khruu or Teachers.

You Asked for it! THAI YOGA ONLINE Learning Platform!

However, if you can’t make it to a live SomaVeda® Thai Yoga class either because of scheduling or cost, the next best thing is to learn from the Master Teacher at Home!

Now you can Learn SomaVeda® Thai Yoga at Home!

Add SomaVeda® Concepts to your existing practice!

Don’t waste your time on lessons from untrained and uncertified, and or non-authentic teachers.

Come to a genuine source for your continuing education!

Hi everyone, and good day!

I am continuing my current project of bringing you new and valuable information and content to empower you to Jump Start Your Healing Practice. This content is designed to supplement and add to your existing SomaVeda® Thai Yoga practice. It also reviews the great content in our LIVE SomaVeda® / Ayurveda/ Natural Medicine courses. It’s not enough to have a goody bag of useful “tricks” and “bits” of therapies to create a successful healing practice. Degrees and Certifications are acceptable, but in and of themselves do not lead one to a happy, successful, and fulfilling life, an intrinsically successful, happy life.

It is good that our traditions have deep and ancient roots with elders and teachers who have lived the life of healers, traditional doctors, and therapists for centuries. They are our role models. We do not have to reinvent the wheel of success in what we do by ourselves. Only our current life situations and perhaps cultural considerations are unique. But what we are doing in life is not new or unusual. We can learn from our elders, and I am recommending you cultivate these lessons and qualities that don’t originate with me. Still, they are passed down to us by previous generations of healers who chose to practice essential medicine as a way of life for their whole life!

New Book! Krabi Krabong The Thai Sword of Thailand

March 18, 2023August 1, 2022 by Thai1on

New Book! Krabi Krabong The Tiger Sword of Thailand: The Science of Fighting with Eight Arms! Paperback – July 31, 2022

by Anthony B. James (Author): Ajahn, Dr. Anthony B. James

A labor of Love!

The traditional Martial Arts of Thailand are gaining popularity worldwide, especially Muay Thai- Thai Kick Boxing and Muay Boran, the Traditional Thai Combat Arts of Hand to Hand. Those who have seen professional bouts of Thai Boxing have witnessed Karate, Kung Fu, and other Arts meet their brutal end at the flashing elbows and knees of the Thai fighters. Muay Thai is one of the most effective forms of empty-hand combat worldwide.

As a result, we have seen fighting systems and schools of hand-to-hand adopt the “Thai Style” and traditional methods of combat adopted and integrated widely. The most famous form of traditional Martial Arts in Thailand is that of the Buddhai Sawan Hall of Revivals National Culture Center and Thai Sword Fighting Institute. The formal curriculum, as defined and taught by the late Grand Master Phaa Kruu Samaii Mesamarn, included Nine Weapon Systems, Hand to Hand/ Empty Hand (Muay Thai, Muay Boran, Muay Chaiya, Fan Dhaap), Thai Yoga (Reussi Dottan– Reishi Yoga), Meditation (Vipassana– Thai Insight Meditation) and Traditional Thai Medicine (Ryksaa Thang Nuat Phaen Boran Thai– Wat Po Traditional Medical School Association style)

Muay Boran is taught as integral to the Krabi Krabong study and shares a familiar origin story. The Buddhai Sawan Institute’s teaching of Thai culture and martial arts of Thailand is seen worldwide.

“Krabi Krabong, The Tiger Sword of Thailand” is written and illustrated with many images and photos by one of the very first “falang” Master teachers, “Ajahn,” of the original Buddhai Sawan lineage and tradition. From traditional fighting arts to meditation and healing, A Buddhai Sawan “Gold Sash” master teacher, “Kruu” since 1984, Ajahn, Dr. Anthony B. James presents the original and authentic Thai Krabi Krabong.

Over 280 illustrations, graphics, and photographs bring the traditional Krabi Krabong systems to life. Sections included? Origins, History, Thai Martial Arts Philosophy, Ancient and rare images of early maps showing diverse cultural influences of Thailand and region, Ancient empire and conflicts that contributed to the development of Thai Martial traditions and their success on the battlefields, the Lineage and historical persons who are famous for their contributions to the present day, The basics of Krabi Krabong fighting methods and the actual training drills used to perfect them.

How to fix Weak Posterior Chain issues with SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapy

March 6, 2023January 5, 2022 by Thai1on

How to fix Weak Posterior Chain issues with SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapy

by Ajahn, Dr. Anthony B. James

Your SomaVeda® Thai Yoga client still has hamstring, hip, and low back pain after sessions or the SomaVeda® Therapeutic Day program!

A review and commentary by Ajahn, Dr. Anthony B. James: Dean of the SomaVeda College of Natural Medicine

The reason may be a Weak Posterior Chain!

What is Weak Posterior Chain?

A weak Posterior chain is the structure and function of the posterior thighs (hamstrings), glutes, and Sacral/ Low Back. They are underdeveloped, injured, weak, uncoordinated, and, worse, subject to atrophy from lack of use. When I say lack of use, I mean it in every way. Too much sitting, short range of motion, and short load-bearing exercise to build and maintain healthy muscle and soft tissue, including connective tissue… Ligaments and tendons etc. This region may be ischemic and low in circulating oxygen, affecting the structure and function of the nerves and soft tissue, creating an inclination to spasm and further reducing the accessible range of motion. Hard to do Yoga when the muscles and tissues themselves are working hard, even at rest, to do the opposite!

Why? Client Compliance and lack of proper, effective home self-care!

What does this mean, and how to improve on long-term issues either with or after a SomaVeda® Thai Yoga program? Rome was not built in a day! As beneficial as a total seven-day+ SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapeutic Day Protocol or program is, it is NOT Magic! Many chronic pain issues develop over many years. They are further complicated by traumatic histories of accidents and injuries accumulated over time and complex with malnutrition and toxicities, years of inactivity and resulting atrophy, energy imbalances, and more. We eventually want to address these as they impact the specific clients’ pain and well-being, moving them toward recovery. However, today I want to bring attention to what the clients can and do have to do on their behalf! The SomaVeda® Thai Yoga technique I am focusing on today is the SOmaVedar Thai Yoga “YaNaKa” or “Push The Leg.” YaNaKa is the essential Thai Yoga technique, representing a three-joint traction and decompression technique. YaNaKa emphasizes the posterior leg lines or Thai Sen lines above the knee to the PSIS pelvis. The three joints affected are the ankle, knee, and pelvis. This is one of the very few techniques in any physical therapy system that can traction and decompress the knee… very important and helpful if there is inflammation, extra fluid, or swelling in the knee.

Watch the 159 Different YaNaKa & Push The Leg video to see the “Hands-On” Chirothesia corrections in our SomaVeda® kit.

We can do fantastic work. The issue always comes back to what is the patient/ client doing between sessions at home. How can the client/ patient comply with their recovery process by addressing some of the actual causes for their “Weak Posterior Chain” issues?

What the client does to support their progress towards reduced pain, pain-free living, or a free and accessible range of motion is vital. Even after a complete program and anywhere from 9 to 12 contact hours hands-on… this pales in comparison to the twenty-four/ seven lifestyle of the client for either excellent or ill.

All pain clients have a “Kapha Dosha” imbalance! No matter their diagnosis, “Vikruti,” elemental imbalance, or body type. How? Why? One of the critical indicators of a “Kapha Dosha” imbalance is IGNORANCE. Ignorance of how the client created the origin of the pain, the injury, the atrophy, the chronic inflammation, and the poor medical or therapeutic choices may not only help but also worsen the pain. This includes delegating responsibility for their healing and wellness to an institutional and corporate medico who proscribed various drugs, steroids, opiates, etc., for “pain management,” but which in the long term did not prove helpful.

Where the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapeutic Program ends, the client’s self-work and compliance with the therapist counseling and recommendations begin! Yes, the clients need help and need therapeutic programs and interventions. However, they also need guidance in self-maintenance and home practices to educate them in support of their compliance routines…

The SomaVeda® T.A.E.L.R. (SomaVeda® Tool Assisted Energy Line Release) protocol extends the hands-on Chirothesia or manual therapeutic hands-on healing ministry using adjunct therapies and “tools.” One of the most important tools is to educate the client on what they can control, contribute and effectively do at home for themselves as the partner in the therapy.

Consider: Weak Posterior Chain?

More than these? Consider:

Lack of Isometric Strength
Walking with discomfort
Hips locking up
Bad posture leading to injury
Trouble Sleeping
Sluggishness in day-to-day life
Rounded Shoulder
Tight Hips
Compromised Immune System
“Anerobic Lactic Threshold” and why it’s crucial.
Loss of sexual performance
Lack of Explosiveness in Yoga practice, the gym, sports, and or Martial Arts

It’s not enough to know the client’s needs to do their “homework” and self-care; they need proper and sustained, detailed guidance on what to do and how to do it.

You won’t be with them at home, so we need a home study program that targets the issue. You, the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Certified Practitioner, Therapist, Minister, or Physician, do your significant part. Refer your client (also yourself if you’re with chronic pain!) to the “Ground Control Program” for a fantastic program.

Please take a moment to read this critical sponsored message from the “Ground Control” Program.

Have you heard about Weak Posterior Chain?

Your Posterior Chain…

…stabilize your trunk and spine during movement and sitting

…allow you to bend your hips and legs towards your chest

…support your internal organs

…is connected to your diaphragm, enabling you to walk and breathe.

In other words, your posterior chain directly influences your fight or flight response!

The solution? Train Like a Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt! I am 17, dressed in my Gi, competing as a Black Belt in the Seishin Kai Jiu-Jitsu Competitions!

Most of you know I hold Black Belt Rank in Martial Arts and an equivalent in M.A. that does not use the belt system, such as Thai Muay Boran and Krabri Krabong. Click Here to see my Martial Arts Bio… I also hold Black Belt Rank in Go Budo Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu training is related to Judo but with a much wider variety of techniques and training methodologies. Jiu-Jitsu training has the perfect solution to the “Weak Posterior Chain.” I have found an excellent 12-weak HOME STUDY/ HOME Practice Course that is helping thousands of athletes overcome these physical limitations. Do not be intimidated by my reference to “Athletes.” Trust me when I say What Works for Athletes Will Work For You!

Take the challenge to restore the structure and function yourself, or refer your clients using the link below. Let me know if you need this link in an email, and I can forward it separately! Cheers, Ajahn Dr. James.

Suppose the posterior chain gets tight and weak. In that case, it can be a real pain, but working specific muscles and doing certain exercise combinations provide easy fixes for the “At-Home” Compliance and personal self-help program.

So… If you experience…

low back pain

hip pain

stiffness

pain while walking or moving

lack or loss of range of motion in your Posterior Chain (Hamstrings, Gluts, Sacral/ Low Back area)

shortness of breath

You need to start undoing some of the damage done to your body and start helping the body to heal itself naturally.
