"Michael Sitzer's Thailand Study Abroad Adventure 2019 was a wonderful experience.
In fact, it was the best trip I've ever taken!

The trip was a rich blend of learning and tourist experiences with just the right balance of training, free-time, group activities, and alone time. Mala Dhara Eco Resort was a lovely venue that provided the opportunity to settle-in, relax, and get to know our fellow group members. It included beautiful spaces for wandering, practicing, and relaxing. Each meal prepared for us there was fresh and tremendously nourishing and delicious!

Michael's gentle and welcoming presence set the tone for a great learning experience and created a sense of family as we gathered in circle each day. Good fortune provided additional opportunities for us to learn from other master teachers during our stay. Meredith's assistance in bridging both language and culture gaps endeared me to the Thai people and added depth to our excursions to temples, caves, and markets. Her inspired sing-a-longs supported the bonding of our group and left us all with a memorable song in our hearts to take home. Dave was a wonderful yoga and meditation guide for us each morning and another source of inside info.
With gratitude,"

“I have taken Thai trainings with Michael for sometime, and this training was one of my favorites. Michael always leads a wonderful program, with a lot of permission to practice and find your own flow. The ‘Next Level’ sequence really opened up space for ‘play’ within the work, of course, getting to practice Thai IN Thailand was the cherry on top. The trip as a whole had a huge impact on my Thai practice, and approach to life. The relaxed vibe of Thailand was very recharging, and the group we traveled with was filled with wonderful people from varying backgrounds. We studied with many Thai teachers, each having something different to teach. Ralf’s foot work and easy-going approach was one of my biggest take-aways. Getting to study with Pichet was definitely an educational day filled with practice. I could go on about the food, and friends, and fun for a while!! We definitely had a blast.”

"The trip was incredibly thoughtful. You and Meredith seem like a complementary yin/yang pair for a Thai massage and cultural immersion trip. I loved that you both were able to offer us access to teachers and experiences we otherwise may not have found. That authentic, behind the scenes, non-tourist depth is "next level." :)

-Amanda Trevelino

"Thank you for curating a truly heart opening experience! I feel very fortunate to have been guided with such loving kindness by you and all the teachers and mentors that you shared with us on the journey, and the meaningful connection to Thailand and Thai bodywork that I was able to enjoy through that guidance. I am grateful for the sabai and nam jai that were cultivated in every part of the experience. I greatly appreciated the care was taken in creating and nurturing a such sweet and supportive group to share in the richness that unfolded. It was all I could have hoped for and more. Next level indeed!"

-Susanna Stoddard, LMT

"As I prepared for my trip to Thailand I was eager to extend my knowledge of Thai Yoga Massage and experience a country and culture that was new to me. However, what I received is almost indescribable and the experience was so much more than I could have ever imagined.

From the moment I arrived I was welcomed with open arms and a palpable excitement for what lay ahead. Mala Dhara is a stunning place to disconnect, unwind, relax, learn, and grow. Michael’s calming presence and kindness radiated throughout every aspect of the journey and through each and every person that was a part of the trip. The laid back atmosphere gave me the opportunity to submerge myself into the areas of learning that I was most eager about, allowed me to go at my own pace, while still having the time and space to be enriched by all that Thailand has to offer.

Learning new Thai Massage techniques has infused my spirit and has me yearning to learn more!

For anyone who is thinking of going on this journey I say with an open heart and open mind - do not hesitate - book your trip now! Being immersed in Thai Yoga Massage, the food, culture, and people, is an experience you won’t soon forget"

- Julia Larson, LMT

"My intention for this trip was to deepen my understanding of Thai Massage and improve my technique. I am a firm believer in learning from the Masters even if you must leave the U.S.A. to do so. What I received was so much more than I could have ever imagined. It is difficult to put into words when something so magical changes you to your core. Learning from Masters with so much love for the practice makes all the difference. As a teacher myself, I have always been in awe of Michael’s calm, caring, organized and professional teaching style. His classes are rich with experience and respect for the practice. I learned wonderful modifications to help me give the best Thai Massage possible. To be alongside my teacher and his teachers was the most powerful learning experience. Our conversations helped me to feel more and think less.
The amazing food kept my body nourished, the Thai People kept my heart filled with joy, the land gave me a new love and connection for a country on the other side of the world. This trip was an excellent learning opportunity, studying with like-minded people, beautiful land, and beautiful people. I highly recommend Thai Yoga Trainings in Thailand with Michael Sitzer."
