N.C.B.T.M.B. Approved Provider for Massage Therapy Continuing Education
We offer Traditional Thai Massage/ Thai yoga certifications and Thai Yoga and Thai massage continuing education (C.E.U.s)classes /credits, often blended and called Thai yoga massage in Florida and other states. This combination of skills has become the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certification program at the Thai Yoga Center in Brooksville, Florida. Our education is geared toward teaching students the proper skills for a long career in healing therapies as well as helping seasoned practitioners by offering both traditional and bio-mechanically correct ways to
do their work.
SomaVeda® Thai Yoga is sophisticated, elegant, and at the same time, intensive practice,
however, the rewards are dramatic and enormous.
Most healing practitioners and massage professionals find this way of working based on a well-developed and ancient practice to be as healthy for themselves as their clients.
Students themselves find positive and beneficial changes happening to their bodies during and after course completion!
It is not unusual for students enrolled in SomaVeda® style traditional Thai Yoga massage courses to experience an increased range of motion, breakthroughs in dealing with emotional issues, and weight loss!
The training is intense and focused on our primary outcomes, which are to prepare you to be able to start or add a productive, profitable practice the next day after you graduate! SomaVeda® Thai Yoga programs are professional and competency-based. We take the time necessary to give you, the practitioner, the concrete foundations to be successful and safe. Unlike other programs which seem to follow the “Tourist” or non-professional model…
If you are already a healthcare professional or Massage Therapist, for example… you will be amazed at the refinements and grace this work will bring to your practice. Additionally, it will likely reduce any occupational or repetitive stress type of occupational disorders you may already be experiencing. One of the several textbooks introduced in the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certification program, “Ayurveda of Thailand,” was voted the best Ayurveda textbook of 2017 and received the Veda Vasya Award! SomaVeda® system is the modern iteration of several well-established original, genuine named Thai Medical Institutions, and Dr. Anthony B. James directs our school. Dr. James holds over five doctorates and is an award-winning Ajahn, Master Thai Medicine Teacher, and Professor of Thai Traditional Medicine and Yoga Therapy.
Traditional Thai Yoga, Massage, and healing arts are classified as “Religious Therapeutics,” a form of Chirothesia Healing and indigenous conventional medicine.
Proper Clothing?
Dress ready to move! Many students opt to wear clothes suitable for either a Yoga class or similar Loose-fitting, comfortable clothing seems best.
What else do I need to bring?
Aside from yourself, of course, bring a notebook and pen. We provide you with all the necessary workbooks, textbooks, and materials in class.
SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Certification programs are unique and offer more professional education and growth opportunities than any other similar program. The first thing to keep in mind is that we were first! Our program has taught and certified Thai Yoga and Traditional Thai Massage professionals full-time since 1984. Most Thai Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage, and or Thai Massage programs currently in the U.S. were started and or operated by graduates of our original programs! As stated above, we offer more than the short TOURIST style (backrubs at the beach) type of training and certification pathway. We offer five levels of certification and five different College degrees, from Associate to Doctorate and Ph.D., based on Thai Yoga Massage as a core modality. No one else offers this.

Primary Thai Yoga Center Staff and Faculty:
Adjunct Staff: I have graduated from the SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Teacher Certification program and have been taught personally by Aachan, Dr. Anthony B. James. Every adjunct teacher on staff has between one and fifteen years of in-class Thai Yoga teaching experience. We specialize in small classes and high-teacher ratios.
We use both traditional and modern teaching methods.
The most strict traditional Asana (Therapeutic Postures) and Vinyasa (Therapeutic Sequences) are taught. We have a happy balance of didactic, lecture, demonstration, and practice to bring you to the award-winning competencies and skill levels our graduates are known for.
Dr. Anthony B. James was the first western Thai Yoga Massage teacher to incorporate the concept of FLOW as a practice methodology into his certification programs in Thailand and the U.S. in the 80s. Of course, many try to copy our “flow” concept, but after 39 years of practice and refinement, we know how to do it correctly!
SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapy is more than technique!
