Basic Training at Wat Po School of Traditional Thai Medicine

The training that kicked it all off: I wandered into an amazing school during a trip to Thailand in 2007 and walked away with 30 hours of basic training in an interesting modality known as Nuad Boran (or Bo-rarn.) It started out as a wonderful accompaniment to my yoga classes, and bloomed into something much more.
