About Thaiyurveda

We hand-craft all of our products using the high quality ingredients, organic and wild-crafted herbs and recyclable or reusable packaging. We incorporate eco-friendly practices in every aspect of our operation. 

At Thaiyurveda Institute we are dedicated to the research and study of Thai traditional medicine and Ayurveda.

Our classes focus on proper body mechanics and self-care. The primary goal of our courses is to learn Thai massage in its traditional form and to promote the understanding of Thai Massage in the holistic context of body, mind and energy. The classes include short lectures on easy to follow segments of Thai Traditional Medicine and demonstrations of the Thai massage routine.  All students receive manuals with pictures of the Thai massage sequence, protocols and all materials needed in class.
