A TCP Provider is a true educational consultant and specialist in SomaVeda™. What is SomaVeda™ Thai Yoga? Basically, Thai Yoga involves moving from a state of non-health into health using only natural means. By "natural" we mean originating in nature or natural processes, safe, non-invasive, holistic, organic, not involving drugs and or surgical procedures. Natural is harnessing the powers of nature as methods to restore harmony and equilibriums of mind, body and spirit. To bring the whole person into balance and all of their disparate parts into balance.

The holistic practioner addresses the energy, the Qi or chi, the meridians, the Chakra, the breath, using safe and natural herbs and natural substances. The hands on balancing is via traditional oriental systems including but not limited to Thai Yoga, Traditional Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese medicine, Western traditional Naturopathy, nutrition and supplimentation. Strategies to cleanse and detoxify the whole person of everything from parasites to bad energy and vibrations. Techniques and strategies are utilized to bring back to the person all of the resources that might be deficient or missing from the clients life state keeping them from experiencing optimal wellness and sense of harmony and well being in their body, mind and spirit. The SVTCP uses traditional Yoga Vinyasa, flows, Asana and prayer and fasting as well as light and sound and touch to act as the genisis of healing and support. This is the best and perhaps one of the most profound and creative professions in the art and science of healing today!

An SVTCP recognizes that the whole person needs to be treated and is able to assess the client’s emotional state, while helping to establish a positive balance between body, mind, and spirit. An TCP graduate works on the premise that the body has an innate healing ability and his/her job lies in helping to establish the right environment for self-healing to take place.

Additionally graduates are trained to be practiced and competent communicators and teachers. Education and communication may be the most powerful healing tools of all! Our graduates are certified to each and to give independent certification in the SomaVeda™ curriculum for CTP (Certified Thai Practitioner) program. (All 14 basic courses and breakouts.)

How long does the program take to complete?

The SomaVeda™ Teacher Certification Program is designed to be done "in life". That means you are able to integrate the training into your existing life situation. It consist of four direct modules a beginner, intermediate and advanced with a few hours of home study. These modules are offered between 4 and 5 times a year at our Plant City, Florida facility and school. If you did the 4 required in class modules back to back you could easilty complete your requirements in less than twelve months. If you did one module per year you would complete the requirements in approximately 3 to 4 years. The pacing is entirely up to the student, you! The question is "When do you want to begin teaching?".

Can I take extra time to complete the program?

The amount of time varies from student to student. Some finish in 9 to 12 months, others take up to three years to complete their studies. There is no set time limit, so you can take as long as you like. However, we do feel that in order to maintain your momentum it is best to study on a regular basis rather than just once or twice a month.

What are the legal implications of Teaching and practicing SomaVeda™ Thai Yoga?

The TCP Program dedicates an entire module to the legalities of teaching SomaVeda Thai Yoga in the United States. We’ll teach you all the right tools todevelop a successful Thai Yoga Program for your self and your students. Additionally, SomaVed™a teachers become part of the ITTA, Inc.

 Karma Yoga and Apprentice/ Work/ Study Programs Inner work is the journey of self-examination and introspection. It challenges us to take responsibility for our own lives, to look deeply into our strengths and weaknesses, and to learn how to live in community with creativity, harmony, and humor.

People desire to follow the path of healing and therapy join the Thai Yoga Center's staff to work and grow alongside individuals with shares goals and beliefs in a professional working enviroment. We believe that personal development occurs most deeply when the issues of work, the needs of the individual, and the boundaries of the community are fully integrated. This practical life experience prepares the student for related situations and the nedds of the specific community they will practice in upon returning home. Apprentice students actually live in residence with Aachan James and are invited to participate in intensive, personal work in areas of SomaVeda not usually covered during CTP's and regular programs.
