Thai Yoga Massage
Presence ✧ Touch ✧ Transformation
Thai Yoga Massage is far more than a set of techniques – it is an ancient healing art that weaves together meditation, applied yoga, and precise bodywork into a powerful therapeutic dance.
Rooted in Buddhist tradition, this beautiful practice offers a path to profound connection with both self and others.

It is a journey of self-discovery.

Student Testimonials

Dave is able to navigate students into experiencing the micro, very intricate adjustments of touch in order to experience greater depth and his teaching style is incredible. There is so much wisdom, intuition and amazing intention, open heartedness. Dave is an incredible teacher.

I think that decision to sign up for this course, this space, was one of the best decisions that I have made in my adult life and I don’t say that lightly. It is one of the best investments I have made in myself.

TYM Practitioner
I’ve been blown away by this Course. Not just because of the quality of the course itself but also in the amazing quality of the teaching. Dave’s teaching is so knowledgable, so clever, but yet so grounded and humbling. You learn so many skills not just about Thai Yoga Massage but things that I’ve been able to apply to my daily Yoga teaching and my daily life.

I consider Dave my primary teacher of TYM, for many years now and ongoing. Dave teaches from the heart, with deep expertise developed over decades. His humility, his earnest attention to detail, and his commitment to bodywork as a healing modality are profound.

It was like finding an extra heart inside me that was specifically for that community, for that room whatever we were doing there was definitely more than technical massage or methodology. It was also that, but the beauty of it, is that it incorporated all aspects of life. Arriving to the studio in the morning in all sorts of states and emotions, and then you step in and realise how insignificant all of that is when you’re truly inside yourself, when you truly are in a space where everyone brings their best intentions and everyone is there to find a way to heal themselves and others. It was a very very special experience for me.

This class, one of the simplest lessons it taught me was just the beauty of stillness and the beauty of movement and that one needs the other to thrive. It’s just these simple bits of being that are everywhere in this room. I really love it and appreciate it, and to be able to apply that to a skill like Massage which I now feel so passionately about. To be able to connect with other people in that way. To go within and connect with myself, and then share that experience through touch, honestly it’s like fantasy.
Carola Chiarpenello
TYM Practitioner
I have always struggled with touch. I have been a Yoga teacher/ therapist for six years, I was touching very little to both clients and my students. I always kept loads of distance and now, I am so much more comfortable with touch and the relationship with my students/ clients. This training has definitely made me more comfortable and I’m still learning.
Its great to have so much new intelligence that you can gain through your hands where you can very much feel what’s going through somebody else’s body.
Max Mora
TYM Practitioner
Dave is a dedicated, kind and patient teacher who supports his students to be the very best they can be. He is generous with his knowledge, while also empowering his students to reach for their own unique offerings. I truly cannot recommend him highly enough for any bodyworker wishing to deliver transformative bodywork to their clients.
