"Michael is just as masterful a teacher online as in person. We could see his every movement from different angles (more than what I could see in-person).

What Are The Online Courses Like?
Michael’s "home study" course is NOT a simple video recording and test. It is personalized, structured, supportive, and interactive. Instead of being “hands-on” in a live, in person classroom, you’ll be “hands-on” at home, as you practice on a partner on your own, at your convenience.
This is a much more effective learning format because it is quite like an in-person class. The biggest difference is that you practice with a partner at home instead of in a live classroom.
The material is easy to learn and is focused on postures that are both safe and non-stressful for the giver and receiver. Classes also include theory, insight, and inspirational talks to prepare the student for a transformational day or evening of practice.

Students Rave About Michael's Online Thai Yoga Courses
"I was thoroughly impressed at the quality of training which I received. Michael is an expert teacher in the art of Thai bodywork, and I highly recommend his class to any massage therapist wishing to deepen their knowledge of practice, as well as yoga instructors, physical therapists, or just anyone interested in learning this ancient art to find a deeper well of understanding of the human body." Royal Allen Wenzel
"When Michael transitioned to a virtual teaching framework, I was reluctant to participate because I thought I would miss out on something special--Michael's presence and his energy, interaction with other students, and the kind of quality learning experience that I had when I participated in the live training. However, I was met with the realization that Michael is just as masterful a teacher online as he is in person. He made sure that we could all see his every movement from a couple of different angles (which is actually more than what I was able to see in the in-person class). We also had just as many opportunities to participate in Metta meditation, to practice his bodywork teachings, to ask questions, and to interact with him and other students. Overall, Michael's online training workshops are actually quite phenomenal. I am grateful that I can learn from him in this deeply satisfying way." Adriena Z Dame
" I took this class to learn stretching techniques for my clients and to save my hands. Michael was a great instructor! I knew nothing about Thai massage, and I feel I now have a good foundation for further learning. The class was very hands on. We gave and received the Thai stretches so we could understand how to do them, but also give feedback on how incredible they felt. I’m an old guy, more than a little concerned about being able to move through the positions, but I came through the class feeling that I do have the ability to use this new knowledge in my practice." Dale Wallace
