Uncertified, unregistered and poorly or incompletely trained instructors can be harmful to your health!

All legitimate Instructors and practitioners are Certified, 90% by ITTA. Beware of uncertified instructors and practitioners; they cannot be considered safe. Thai Yoga therapy and massage in all of its legitimate forms, such as SomaVeda™ and Nuad Boran, is a sophisticated and intricate art and science thoughtfully cultivated over thousands of years. Any one who claims to teach with a minimum of practice is potentially quite dangerous. The problem with these uncertifed persons is that they do not even suspect what they do not know. How can they guide one around the common challenges , problems, contraindications which they have never seen, heard of or been shown! All certified and genuine instructors have undergone rigorous training under supervision of expert and master instructors.

How can you recognize a properly trained and recognized instructor? Simply look in our directory of certified practitioners and instructors. If they are not on the list they are either NOT a genuine instructor or they are an unregistered instructor. If you are uncertain and wish to verify the activity of a specific instructor Click Here.

Potential Hazards of working with unregistered and perhaps untrained practitioners and instructors is too numerous to list. However here are just a few:

• You can be injured in class. The untrained and uncertified instructor may not fully comprehend the needs of your body and or may execute techniques poorly or incorrectly. Remeber, our closest neighbors technically are Ayurved and Yoga, and Massage therapy, all of which require instructors to be certified as well.
•  
• You may develop a disability. By practicing an improper technique over time you may develop a disability from it, such as Knee problems, wrist and ankle, back, neck or chronic shoulder pain. Students of poorly trained instructors have also torn ligaments, pinched nerves and more.
•  
• Your class hours will not count toward your own Certification. Many students payout hard earned cash for courses thinking that automatically they will be qualified for recognition on their own. If you study from an uncertifid instructor it may be emotionally rewarding, but these hours will either be suspect or unacceptable toward licensing and certification. The uncertified instructor may not even be aware of this! If you plan to practice professionally check out the certifiecation and professional recognition of your instructor first!

• You may injure your clients, friends and family yourself by using improper technique or inappropriate techniques.

• The list goes on.
