Michael is such a great teacher. I attended his Thai On The Table class and loved it so much I decided to take his 36 hour Thai Training. Since the pandemic is happening, he offered on online class for safety reasons and I have to say, it was a wonderful experience. His method of teaching keeps you totally engaged and is very heart centered. If you are searching for a class that will leave you feeling inspired and are interested in learning from the best, look no further. I would highly recommend any class by Michael Sitzer. He is a gem!

I just took one of Michaels Table Thai Trainings. His teaching style is simple, enjoyable and highly effective. The techniques he has developed for Thai massage on the table are versatile and easy to incorporate into a massage practice. Thank you so much for the useful and accessible training!

Loved Loved Loved!! Michael and his assistants are SOOO wonderful and very knowledgeable. This is an amazing workshop for LMT, Yoga instructors or anyone wanting to learn about bodywork/thai massage. I would take the class over again in a heartbeat and will definitely be taking more classes in the future.

Michael Sitzers Thai Yoga Bodywork training is a true treasure--one that shines brighter than any of the other tools that I have gleaned in my career as licensed massage therapist and healing arts practitioner. I took the first training in person with Michael and a beautiful group of other like-minded students. The experience was magical. It was as if we were enveloped in an immersive healing retreat, as Michael is so adept at fluidly radiating Metta energy (the energy of loving kindness) throughout every aspect of the training from start to finish. His teaching style is one that speaks simultaneously to the brain and to the heart, which makes learning the practical application of Thai Yoga Bodywork quite effortless. He is humble, patient, kind, helpful, and abounding with knowledge, which he imparts in a way that is easily understood.When Michael transitioned to a virtual teaching framework, I was reluctant to participate because I thought I would miss out on something special--Michaels presence and his energy, interaction with other students, and the kind of quality learning experience that I had when I participated in the live training. However, I took the leap, enrolled in the training, and was met with the realization that Michael is just as masterful a teacher online as he is in person. He made sure that we could all see his every movement from a couple of different angles (which is actually more than what I was able to see in the in-person class). We also had just as many opportunities to participate in Metta meditation, to practice his bodywork teachings, to ask questions, and to interact with him and other students, . . . Overall, Michaels online training workshops are actually quite phenomenal. I am grateful that I can learn from him in this deeply satisfying way.

I had the best experiences in these classes! if you are looking for something else to offer your clients, i highly recommend taking this course with Michael! all my clients love the additional bodywork that i can now incorporate in our sessions.And as the other reviews state- he is an AMAZING presence( as well as his guest star assistants!). Truly a joyful, wonderful, experience awaits you if you do take the classes even if you are not a massage therapist.

Michael,Many thanks for your beautiful time/energy and very sacred delivery of such a beautiful art 🙏.. I definitely look forward to furthering the experience and training so that I can effectively share and integrate this work with my practices as well. You are truly a gifted healer/practitioner and I will be sharing your practice and info with my colleagues as well. Again many thanks & gratitude for your willingness to share this sacred art & therapy 🙏🌞.

Incredibly gifted, compassionate, and well-rounded teacher and an amazing Thai Yoga Bodywork Practitioner as well. You can feel the loving kindness emanating from his being and flowing out to his students and into his teachings. I feel very blessed Michael lives here in Asheville. Highly recommend taking the opportunity to study with this wonderful soul!

Thai training with Michael is enjoyable and easy. Easy on the body of therapist learning the techniques, enjoyable to the therapist on the table and really easy to remember what weve learned. He is super organized and serene so the whole experience is like one moving meditation.

It is rare to find an instructor who embodies the multiple qualities of a wealth of knowledge on a subject, patience, innovation in ways of teaching, humor, and deep kindness. Yet Micheal possess all of those qualities and many more. Taking Michaels class is unlike any training I have experienced. He brings each student on a journey- from the history of Thai Yoga Bodywork to the theory behind it to its practical implications. The intense emphasis on experiential learning left me feeling like I knew was I was doing and was capable of practicing this form of bodywork. After three weekends with Michael I am now offering this modality to my clients with rave results. I would recommend this training to anyone interested in expanding their own professional practice, or to anyone who wants to invite this beautiful healing modality as part of his or her life.

Michael has a wonderful presence, is incredibly knowledgeable, and does an outstanding job of breaking down many years of experience into digestible sections even for those like myself who are new to bodywork. The workshop covers a lot of material but is very well organized and gives you plenty of time to practice giving and receiving. It never felt rushed. Michael creates a warm, positive, and encouraging learning environment. Im sure he could fill the class with more people but he keeps it intimate. There is plenty of one on one attention, time to ask questions, and time to get to know your classmates. He and his assistants are always available, approachable, and are excellent teachers. I enjoyed Michaels workshop so much that I went back for a refresher course. It was even better than the first! He has worked for years at tailoring this series and has broken it down into sections that flow smoothly for the giver and receiver. I left feeling confident that I was prepared to work on people.

I have loved Michaels trainings. He speaks and teaches from his heart, offering a truly remarkable course. The pace is perfect and simplified for all levels of students. Michael has such a warm and sweet energy to share and in all three weekends I attended he created a comfortable and safe environment for all of his students to learn and practice this work.I have weaved the Thai bodywork into my work as a yoga teacher and over the last year have doubled my private income from offering this therapy. As a yoga teacher, it allows a deeper connection with my students as I have a better understanding of how to improve my assists in restorative postures, so this course is wonderful for yoga teachers, as well as massage therapists. My clients love the Thai bodywork that I work into my yoga privates, and often come back to see my solely for Thai yoga therapy. I have evolved as a teacher and healer through taking this course. Thank you Michael for your gifts you so openly share!

Michael is amazing! I went into the training a little apprehensive because I am unfamiliar with massage techniques (I am a yoga teacher). However, Michaels immense knowledge and love for the healing art really spoke through in his teachings! I left his trainings so excited to share this gift with others. Michael has such a peaceful presence that it was just a meditative and healing training just sharing sacred space! I HIGHLY recommend Michael for massage, Thai Yoga Bodywork, and training!

I just completed the 36 hour Thai yoga bodywork training that Michael offers, and I was thoroughly impressed at the quality of training which I received. Michael is an expert teacher in the art of Thai bodywork, and I highly recommend his class to any massage therapist wishing to deepen their knowledge of practice, as well as yoga instructors, physical therapists, or just anyone interested in learning this ancient art to find a deeper well of understanding of the human body.Michael instructs with a gentle and nurturing presence that is a rare quality that I admire in a teacher, and his superior knowledge and presence comes through with everything he does. And if you are a client interested in receiving this amazing bodywork from him, I would highly recommend you check him out.Thanks Michael! :)

Taking this Thai Yoga Massage training course was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. It was a very peaceful, calming atmosphere. I learned a lot. The people were great. Michael is a kind person and great instructor. Can I keep raving? Im really glad we got to practice a little bit of metta (loving-kindness) meditation too.

Invaluable life experience. I highly recommend the Thai yoga Bodywork course for anyone wanting to learn a very gentle and effective way of transforming the body. Michael has developed a wonderful series of protocols that are easy to follow. Take the course and see for yourself- your friends, family and clients will love you for it!

I feel very fortunate that Michael was able to bring this amazing workshop to my home yoga studio. I feel the training is an excellent value. Very well organized and fun. I have confidence in my ability to provide family, friends and clients with a safe and effective therapy session.

I really enjoyed the Thai Yoga Bodywork training with Michael Sitzer. His knowledge and teaching style of this profoundly effective practice is outstanding.

One of the best trainings Ive taken! I finished the program feeling confident in my ability to offer great Thai Yoga Bodywork to my clients. Michael is experienced, knowledgeable, and a great instructor! Highly Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Michael and the Asheville Thai Yoga Bodywork. He is an amazing massage/bodywork therapist, teacher and integrative healer. I cant wait to learn more and experience his healing again.

Michael’s buoyant spirit, skill, and knowledge of Thai bodywork provides a transformative experience for anyone enrolled in one of his trainings. He puts meditation in motion and shares this gift with others🙏🏼

Michael is a wonderful therapist as well as teacher. My life has changed since learning this wonderful Art.

He knows his stuff! Amazing teacher and kind person.

I think Michael is an amazing therapist & instructor!I can’t wait to be in his presence again 😀

I took a Thai Massage/Yoga training with Michael Sitzer in Greenville, SC. He is not only one of the kindest individuals I have ever had the pleasure of learning from, but also extremely gifted and knowledgable in his craft. Michael has an extensive background in massage, anatomy and Thai therapy (derived right from Thailand). He has a respect for the culture, the lineage and his students that surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Michael to be your teacher or to be your therapist in the healing modality of Thai Yoga/Massage therapy.

Best class ever. If you have not experienced Michaels work , you need to take his work-shop

Michael Sitzer is an intuitive and mindful therapist. He has integrity and wisdom that goes way beyond... I felt amazing after our session. His workshops are inspiring and transformational. Not only did I learn valuable massage techniques, I was also deeply touched spiritually by the full experience. Im still in contact with several others who also attended as we really bonded over those wonderful weekends together. I plan to continue studying with Michael. I Highly Recommend getting a session and taking a class.-Krystal Kinnunen, L.A.c MAOM

Michael is an amazing teacher and therapist!!
