The second weekend of thai therapy class

I finished my second weekend of thai therapy classes. The 1st weekend we learned about the Marmas and how they are holding places for stress and illness, they are like pressure points and a Thai therapist works them like acupressure.
The second week we learned about the Sen (Energy) lines and how to run those to help people feel better.
next week I'll talk more about where thai yoga therapy came from. this week I want to finish talking about the seven laws of yoga.
      The 4th law of yoga: The Law of Least Effort means that nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease. If you look at  the flow of the tides, the blossoming of a flower, or the movement of the stars, you do not see nature struggling. The Law of Least Effort is so valuable during the practice of yoga. Yoga is the antidote to the prescription “no pain, no gain.” The greatest benefits of yoga come from relaxing into a pose, rather than forcing your body into it. When moving into a flexibility pose, find the point of resistance. breathe into the resistance—surrender into the resistance.
     The 5th law of yoga: The Law of Intention and  Desire. If you accept that your  body is not separate from the body of the universe, then by consciously changing the energy and information  of your own body, you can influence the energy and information of your extended body.
     The 6th law of yoga: The Law of Detachment: In order to acquire something in this world, you have to give up your attachment to it. your willingness to embrace the unknown, is your only true security.  By  giving up your attachment to the known, you step into the field of you true self in which the wisdom of uncertainty is factored into all your choices. Being open to what is happening instead of trying to control how things unfold; you experience the excitement, adventure, exhilaration, and mystery of life.
     Look for the 7th law of yoga next week.
     Thai Yoga therapy is way faster than any other therapy. If you need therapy or your knees or hips hurt give thai a try. Namaste
