Awesome! I completed 15 and 16 again along with the questions. Picked up another technique missed the first go through. I am off next week for a third training with Kimberly Hardick. This will be 2 days of Thai on backs along with anatomy in clay. She is calling hers Assisted Yoga Therapy. I continue to take as many classes as possible close to me and supplement the online training as well. When complete with this test and review, I will continue on with your specialty courses. Do you also have tests put together for those? 

That is awesome. I have time. With those that are ready, Kimberly and Souri in Houston, I will have my 180 hours completed for my RTT before long. After working in physical therapy for 16 years and my background as an RYT, Thai has become a natural extension for my skills. I also teach stress management at our hospital. Thai weds so many aspects into a nice offering. My biggest struggle has been the belief side. I am Christian although not close minded and also have extensive medical background with a father and brother that are MD's. I have struggled philosophically and theologically with the buddist teachings and energetics. I have learned to harmomize many aspects of both systems although there are still a few points of conflict. Good is good in any language or belief system and I find Thai very therapeutic on many levels. I continue to evolve. Thanks Shama!

I have now completed 15-19 and feel like I am becoming fluid with my sessions. As an RYT I am used to the breath work but have learned to incorporate it with my movements and am getting better synching with the client. I see that the more relaxed I am the more relaxed the client is. Flowing movements are very relaxing and it does take time to develop the smooth transitions. I have also completed the test questions through 19. 

Yes. Training this weekend with Kimberly Hardick at Aledo Yoga  "Applied Yoga Therapy" brought in a lot of rocking movements. I like having many different approaches to learn from but feel yours has the most variety and greatest depth. My Thai lady, Souri Sisavath from Thailand was very intuitive and did her sessions with her eyes closed. I was impressed with her sense of feel and awareness. At the same time, I see the importance of watching the breath and facial signs of pain. Kimberly pointed out the visual cues Souri may or may not miss. You use the RPE scale as well for feedback. The differences are perspectives coming from a yogic and a massage therapist mindset. Neither is right or wrong. We must find our own sense of awareness and our own strengths. Most of us use multi sensory inputs in our sessions. Using a multi sensory approach with the addition of the RPE scale will better insure we dion't miss something. We can mis-read our senses sometimes. I am still learning to read things. It requires the experience of doing, of giving and receiving. 

Thank you. Too afraid I might put a hand in the wrong place if I don't look sometimes. LOL.  I can hear Kimberly saying "keep your thumbs in." But rocking makes great sense and is relaxing to the giver also.

Rolled through lesson 21 and questions today. Will work on a few more over weekend as well as doing several pay sessions.

Completed mod 22 on the prone legs today. I like the variety of quad stretches but missed a variation I use quite often. That is standing with the foot place on the hip and stretching the quad. It may appear in another video. It works well for my height.

Yes, that is it. My balance is pretty good as well as my strength so it works well for me on many folks. I like them all though and will experiment with different folks. I teach yoga as well as many strength and conditioning classes and sometimes just change out of boredom. Thai is no different. Love variety!

I completed module 25 on the back and moving forward.
