Please note: Unlike other novice Thai Associaltions we have been promoting and developing programs in Thai Yoga and Thai Massage full time since 1984! We are the oldest and original source for comprehensive recognitions and programs in the US. Our history and work is well documented. All of our recognitions, accreditations and awards are genuine and posted on this website! Unlike other association who may claim to represent the Thai Yoga or Thai Massage industry everything we say and stand for can be independently verified! We have many verifiable formal recognitions, awards and certifications in Thailand from all the schools and traditions we represent in Thailand and from the various appropriate Ministry's etc. (Click Here to see the list!). ITTA is a private membership association: Join Today!

We, the Instructors, schools and practitioners, regardless of level of practice, whole heartedly support actively all genuine schools and teachers with verifiable background and credentials. Do not be fooled into supporting those instructors and schools, who have no verifiable background or authentic training and certification. Also, do not be fooled or mislead by websites and schools claiming that there is no US standards for practicing Thai Yoga! There have been standards in use, promoted and supported by ITTA since 1983! Our standards for practice and recognition are considered the highest quality and we can prove with the support and recognition of The Royal Thai Governmental agencies, and the awards and recognitions that we have received from them! No other association, or schools can make these claims and offer proof.

ITTA recognized programs are the only such programs in the US to currently allow graduate practitioners and students to sit for the Naturopathic National Boards for Traditional Naturopath. This is currently the highest possible standard for recognition of Thai Massage and Thai Yoga in the US.For information on the Thai Yoga Based Holistic Health Practitioner and Doctor of Natural Medicine Ayurveda Programs: Click Here!

If your interested in being part of supporting the traditions derived from Thai Ayurveda and related, then ITTA is where you need to be. Be proud of your heritage and your industry. Lets work together for the future of Thai Yoga and Thai Massage in the US and in the world!

Please Note:  Effective November 16, 2008, New US National Standard for Thai Yoga/Thai Massage Practitioner Recognitions for Practitioner, Instructor and Schools will go into effect.
