Doors open · September 19–20, 2026
Seats fill first-come. Lock yours before they're gone.
You didn’t get into healing work to
run out of things to offer.
Massage therapists arrive with hands and backs already paying the price for the way they were taught. Yoga teachers arrive sensing there’s deeper work to give. Plenty of students simply watched someone they love hurt and wanted to be able to help.
There is an older tradition. An Indigenous, hands-on healing art, practiced for thousands of years, that works with the body: no oil, no table, nothing but trained hands. You stay clothed. You work on a mat. And the person in front of you gets up looser and calmer than they lay down.
In two days, you can learn to give it. That’s not a slogan. That’s the curriculum.
The work itself has research behind it. A systematic review of clinical trials found traditional Thai massage was associated with reduced chronic pain, greater flexibility, and lower perceived muscle tension, while noting more research is needed on longer-term effects.
These services are traditional bodywork and wellness practices, not medical care, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results vary. Consult your physician for medical concerns.
“All yoga can be therapeutic.
But not all yoga is yoga therapy.”

A typical CE weekend
- Click-through online modules you forget by Monday

- 18 board-approved hours AND a new modality to offer
- Bodywork done from the mat, easier on your body
- A signature service almost no one near you offers
What You’ll Walk Out Able to Do
Not theory you forget by Monday. A complete, repeatable session you can give the same week.
A full 19-Asana flow
Perform a complete beginner Vinyasa with a partner: a real, start-to-finish 1-hour SomaVeda® Thai Yoga therapy session.
Read the body’s energy map
The Seven Chakras, the Ten Sen (Prana Nadis), Wind Gates, Meridians and Acupoints. The anatomy most Western training skips.
The Five Treatment Attitudes
The traditional positions: Supine, Side-Lying, Prone, Abdomen, Seated. And when each one is the right door in.
Bodywork as meditation
Work that gives back to the giver. You leave calmer than you arrived. So does your partner.
Benefits & contraindications
Know exactly when a posture helps and when to hold back. Clinical judgment you can use the very next day.
SomaVeda® BET / Bio-Tapping
The tapping protocol (EFT-style) for clearing negative emotion and balancing the nervous system. Add it to any session.
Real Hands. Real Mats. Real Work.
No stock photos. This is exactly what your weekend looks like: supported, hands-on, human.

The Three Things Holding You Back
“I’ve never done bodywork.”
Good. No license, no experience, no background needed. Beginners start here every cohort and leave able to give a full session.
“Can I really practice after one weekend?”
Yes. Under the NAIC Legal Shield, members may legally practice what they learn, in all 50 states. Full CTP certification comes later if you want it.
“I’m not in great shape.”
You’ll kneel, sit and move for stretches at a time, but it’s paced, supported, and scalable. Move a little this week and you’re ready.
