Thai Yoga Strength

Scenes from day one of our Level 2 Practitioner Program. It's always a privilege to share knowledge with open and eager students. Each person brings a unique set of experiences, skills, and a determination to put in the necessary time. Not a single person here is looking for the fast track or short cut. There's no better way to honor our teachers than by sharing this work with these students. Be on the lookout for more amazing Thai bodywork therapists in the near future!

Last night I watched The Stone on Netflix. A good movie out of Thailand that revolves around the chaos of a young man discovering his father owned a super rare Thai amulet. Chaos ensues.

This got me thinking about the story behind my Thai amulet. I purchased it outside of Wat Si Koet in Chiang Mai. There were many sellers throughout Chiang Mai, but this individual called to me. As did this amulet (I had no desire to purchase one prior to seeing the one I ended up buying).

After a bit of sleuthing online, I was able to verify the information giving to me by the seller. I also discovered that it has its own fun backstory, the full extent of which I will never know. It's uncommon, possibly even rare, and almost worthless when it comes to monetary value. I find that combination oddly beautiful.

Going back down this rabbit hole of discovery reminded me of the need to be more mindful during my practice and in daily life. What fills your bowl depends on your actions. That true loving-kindness isn't reserved for the ones who are the easiest to give it to. There is magic in these amulets, even if it's only to remind us of the values we wish to keep. - Jacob

FINALLY it's here!

After much planning and even more dragging of feet, we have our Practitioner Program ready and on the calendar for 2026! Come learn this work from practitioners who have studied it for decades and have applied it authentically for their clients. This isn't your paint-by-numbers program. Space is limited. Grab your spot to be amongst the first TYS graduates!

Another beautiful class in the books. This one really rejuvenated the spirit and rekindled that fire for passing on the teachings that have been given to me. As always, I forgot to take pictures until the last minute. I was totally caught up in the present. 2026 I'm going to commit to offering a full practitioner program. Spread the word and hopefully we will see you in class! - Jacob
