As a therapeutic practice, it is a dynamic form of yoga for the practitioner as well as the recipient.

Level 1 students learn how to:
- Utilize key stances (practitioner postures)
- Incorporate effortless, flowing transitions between postures
- Use safety precautions for preventing injury
- Apply energy balance through acupressure and the Thai Sen (energy line) system
- Evaluate the needs of the recipient and customize the massage
