Expectations of home practice
We require 30 documented practice sessions to be completed by the time of graduation. In order for you to achieve Registered Thai Therapist (RTT) status through the Thai Healing Alliance (THAI), you must document a total of 50 sessions. Therefore, you will need to complete 20 more sessions after graduation in order to meet that requirement.

Student Clinic
You will complete some of those 30 sessions while working with the general public during four teacher supervised sessions.

Community Outreach
We will support you as you spend a minimum of 4 hours working with a community organization or in some way offering SEVA (the Sanskrit word for service).
