Rebirth: Thai Massage Summit 2023

There is no place like a convention, to make one feel alive! Especially, when participation is intimate, in retreat-style, with meals, practices, and education shared by all. This will be my first in-person Thai massage summit, although I participated virtually last year. Presenters include Pierce Salguero, Rose Griscom, David Wells, Jill Burynski, Al Turner, Wass Lakkham, and more TBA.

Thai Massage is at the core of my practice and I could not be more excited to foster relationships with the leaders in this spiritual practice.

Training in Partner Yoga (Level 1)

  • Kripalu Center For Yoga & Health (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

I’m beyond excited to have the opportunity to join Elisabeth Williamson, Gina Lee, and Lara Christine for the Training in Partner Yoga (Level 1). This class will focus on designing & facilitating Partner Yoga Workshops, understanding and implementing the Partner Yoga Principles, group meditations, and more! Not only that but class is held at the renowned Kripalu Center For Yoga & Health. What a blessing!

Principle Based Partner Yoga was introduced to me by my massage mentor, at National Holistic Institute for Massage Therapy, in 2017. Since then, I've trained and instructed Nuad Bo-Rarn Thai Massage, dabbled in acroyoga, and implemented many of the exercises in my yoga classes, usually when there are fewer students. It will be a pleasure to bring more of this fabulous practice to the community!
