The 10-day practitioner training program is a transformational experience that will nourish your body, mind and spirit. In this course you will learn this powerful healing art and gain a deeper understanding of the body, mind and healing process on all levels. In addition, this training will give you the skill and immediate tools to work with people after the training and tips to set up a successful healing practice. Saul's teaching integrates Thai Yoga Massage with the root teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda, along with anatomy, therapeutics, Yoga therapy, holistic healing and spiritual practice. For a complete, deep and transformational experience. He has shared this healing art with more than a thousand people.
This immersion training is an empowering and life affirming experience that will help move you to the next level in your healing practice and life journey. Each day we begin with a healing Yoga and meditation practice. There are two 3-hour sessions of Thai Yoga Therapy class, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. During the afternoons there is free time for resting, hiking the mountain trails, swimming, or just soaking in the hot tub. And everyday, there are three delicious, gourmet vegetarian meals. In the evening there is a relaxed evening class with a talk on different aspects of healing and Yoga Therapy and time for questions.
This training is open to anyone sincerely interested in healing work. It is a valuable addition for Yoga teachers, massage therapists and any healing arts practitioners. We practice comfortably clothed on mats on the floor. No prior Yoga or massage experience is required. Space is limited for this training.

The teachings of Yoga have traditionally been shared in powerful, natural settings.Living in close communion with the earth, immersed in the energies of nature opens us to the sacredness and beauty of life. In such places clarity, meditation and understanding flow spontaneously. The Eco-snctuary is such a place. The land itself was once held sacred by the Chumash tribe, who originally inhabited the area.
