Body mechanics first. Vocabulary of stretches second. Seated routines last.
Body mechanics for the practitioner. How to use bodyweight rather than muscle. Floor positions, transitions, and breath synchronisation with the client.
Khun Pansa's first residency week. Vocabulary of stretches across the supine sequence, with extended supervised practice afternoons.
Side-lying, prone and seated transitions. Building the full ninety-minute sequence on the mat.
Final residency, the seated routine, and the assessed full sequence on a senior panel member.
A Thai stream that does not feel like a holiday souvenir.
The traditional Thai sequences we teach are old, careful, and not particularly photogenic. They reward patience. We slow them down until they make sense in your own joints, then speed them up only when you can do them without thinking. Khun Pansa is uncompromising on the body mechanics; she would rather you do half a sequence well than the full sequence poorly.
The next residency is on the calendar.
The Thai stream runs twice a year, in line with Khun Pansa's residencies. The next intake's dates are firm — we will share them on a call.
