The first course curriculum given by Yong Kiat are the thirty stretches taught to him by his own master Ajahn Pisit from Pisit Massage School, with a duration of three hours. A booklet detailing the stretches will be given to you before the course begins.
According to Master Yong Kiat, an advanced student will be able to learn the thirty stretches within these three hours, others might require another three hour class to master them.
After that, you can design your own personalized Thai Massage course together with him. This will allow you to focus on the areas of Thai Massage you are most interested in and want to get more in-depth information and practice about. This personalized massage course is charged by the hour, and will depend on your needs, and of course, upon previous agreement with Yong Kiat.
