SomaVeda® Nuad Boran Northern Style Thai Yoga and Traditional Thai Massage: Level Three: Approved CEU NAIC, AAPNA, NCBTMB, FSBMT, SMOKH
We are continuing the work begun in SomaVeda® Level One and Two. This class’s prerequisite for attendance and certification is the SomaVeda® Level One: Fundamentals of Thai Yoga Therapy and the Level Two “SomaVeda® Ayurvedic Thai Massage.” Explore in detail the 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 and Old Medicine Hospital 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 present the same and more information in only six or seven days! This course is an Indigenous Traditional Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy training and certification program. It is required for Thai Yoga Therapy Practitioner and Thai Yoga Therapy Teacher certification.
The Nuad Boran is Taight in Two Sections separately. Nuad Boran Level One and Nuad Boran Part A. Nuad Boran Level One covers Introduction through the “Abdominal” section, and Nuad Boran Part B includes Abdominal to Seated attitudes. Nuad Boran Part A & B are two different seven-day retreats totaling fourteen days (112 hrs). NCBTMB CE is granted for the first 50 hours of Part A. Two Separate Certificates of Completion are issued, and credit may be applied to any NAIC, ACNM College degree program, and or SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Teacher Certification program.

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, and 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. When this course is facilitated by Ajahn, Dr. Anthony B. James, and or SomaVeda® Certified Teachers taught by Dr. James, advanced practitioners will also benefit from the intensive tutoring and corrective guidance of a Master Instructor. Additional Oriental and Western Anatomy and Physiology in introduced.
The Lanna or Northern style (Nuad Boran) is the most Yang variation of the traditional SomaVeda® Thai Yoga healing methods. In this course, we will catalog more than two times the unique techniques found in SomaVeda® Level Two, that’s, over 100 different Asana or Therapeutic postures.

SomaVeda® Nuad Boran: Level Three course is offered in a Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced format for three sections (A, B & C). It is provided at the Parent school twice a year as a dedicated program and at other times by SomaVeda® Certified Teachers on their respective schedules. However, no matter where or who is facilitating the course, Levels #1 & 2 remain prerequisites.
We believe in giving credit where credit is due! Our version of the Northern or “Lanna” style Traditional Thai Massage: Nuad Boran, was given to us by the late Grand Master of the Old Medicine Hospital in Chiang Mai in the early 90s. Ajahn, Sintorn Chaigun gave us the original request to “Take This Work to America” and the West. We took it to heart and have been strictly teaching and sharing what he taught us from that time to now. Below is a video of Dr. Anthony B. James’s interview with Ajahn and Sintorn Chaichagun in 1993. Please note it’s in Thai and English.
