Certified Thai Bodywork Instructors
Thai Bodywork Certified Instructors (TBI) go through a rigorous training program to ensure that the curriculum is delivered at a high level of skill. First and foremost, each instructor must be an experienced and talented Thai bodywork practitioner prior to being accepted in the instructor program.
Students may study interchangeably with any instructor in our program. Instructors certify separately for each course they teach, and not all instructors teach all courses. Please contact the individual instructor for details on their offerings.
For more information on our instructor program, please visit our TBI page.
