Raising the standard of TYM practice for over 30 years
THE SCHOOL
We believe in the importance of personal attention and a nurturing environment that enables students to gain confidence and thrive in their practice.
Established in 1993 by Kira Balaskas, The School of Thai Yoga Massage is the UK’s pioneering institution for training in Traditional Thai Yoga Massage. We have cultivated a wide community of practitioners, providing them with a profound understanding of this ancient healing art.
Throughout our history, we have trained hundreds of students both in the UK and internationally, many of whom have launched successful careers as professional practitioners or founded their own schools.
At The School, we believe in the value of individual attention. Our small class sizes foster a supportive environment, allowing for close supervision and tailored feedback. This ensures that each student receives the guidance they need to become confident and capable practitioners of Thai Yoga Massage, whatever their starting place or personal needs.
As an Approved Training Provider for the British Register of Complementary Practitioners (BRCP), we ensure our courses meet the highest professional standards.
We are also a member of the Thai Healing Alliance International (THAI). Our Diploma Course equips graduates with the skills to join the THAI list of worldwide practitioners.
Everyone Is Welcome!
Join us at The School of Thai Yoga Massage to discover the transformative power of this healing art, suitable for all levels and backgrounds.
We embrace all individuals on their Thai Yoga Massage learning journey.
Beginners can join our TYM Introductory Day to discover effective techniques for practising on partners, family, and friends or to get a taste of this wonderful practice. Our Diploma course is also open to beginners or anyone looking to learn a valuable career skill or simply wishing to develop an ability to massage loved ones.
Complementary therapy practitioners can deepen their healing repertoire by adding Thai Yoga Massage to their tool kit of treatments. Yoga and Pilates teachers, personal trainers, osteopaths, and physiotherapists will find that TYM significantly enriches their hands-on abilities, empowering them to provide even greater care and support.
We also offer advanced courses, workshops and one-to-one mentoring for people who have already trained in TYM, and want to enhance their skills and learn new techniques.
