Michael's Thai Yoga Bodywork Academy

"Michael Sitzer's Thai Yoga Bodywork training is a true treasure--one that shines brighter than any of the other tools that I have gleaned in my career as licensed massage therapist and healing arts practitioner. I took the first training in person with Michael and a beautiful group of other like-minded students. The experience was magical. It was as if we were enveloped in an immersive healing retreat, as Michael is so adept at fluidly radiating Metta energy (the energy of loving kindness) throughout every aspect of the training from start to finish. His teaching style is one that speaks simultaneously to the brain and to the heart, which makes learning the practical application of Thai Yoga Bodywork quite effortless. He is humble, patient, kind, helpful, and abounding with knowledge, which he imparts in a way that is easily understood. 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 took the leap, enrolled in the training, and 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."
