About This Certification
Thai Yoga Massage is a deeply therapeutic, movement-based healing practice that blends assisted stretching, acupressure, breathwork, and energetic awareness.
Often described as “lazy man’s yoga,” this work is performed fully clothed on a mat and invites both practitioner and receiver into a rhythmic, meditative flow.
In this training, you’ll learn how to use your body, breath, and intuitive touch to support flexibility, release tension, and restore energetic balance through the Sen lines.
This is not just technique—it’s presence, listening, and connection through touch.
 
Thai Yoga Massage at SHINE is more than a single class—it’s a full pathway of learning and embodiment. Explore the full experience → https://www.shineakron.com/learn-thai-yoga
