The Wise Owl Thai Bodywork Foundations Training is an immersive 20-hour learning experience designed to introduce practitioners to the art, philosophy, and skill of traditional Thai Yoga Massage. Rooted in the principles of metta (loving-kindness), mindful touch, and the natural intelligence of the body, this training offers a blend of technique, presence, and embodied understanding.

This course honors the lineage of Thai bodywork while weaving in the Wise Owl Wellness approach: slow, intentional practice, nervous system awareness, intuitive listening, and respect for the unique story held in each body.

This training is open to yoga teachers, massage therapists, bodyworkers, healers, movement practitioners, and anyone drawn to the healing power of touch. No experience necessary — only a willingness to learn, listen, and connect.

This certification prepares you to offer Thai Yoga Bodywork sessions in studios, wellness spaces, private practice, and retreat settings.

A Training Rooted in Care
​At Wise Owl Wellness, we believe that touch is sacred and that every body carries story, memory, and wisdom. This training is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect to the healing intelligence that moves through us all.

World Yoga Day was a beautiful half-day celebration of joy, love, and community. Arriving in the dark set the tone for stillness. We awakened with the sun and welcomed its warmth. It was so cold for the first two sessions! Next year, maybe we start at 9am? 🥶

Savannah and Brandon led their sessions like pros. My baby owls spread their wings and flew! My mama owl ❤️ is full. 🦉 🦉 🦉

This one’s for the heartbreaks, the almosts, the lessons, and the love that didn’t last—but changed you anyway.

Bad Romance is a somatic dance class set to a carefully curated playlist of breakup songs—an invitation to move what words can’t hold. Through guided prompts and free-form movement, you’ll explore the full spectrum of emotion: grief, anger, relief, longing, empowerment, and release.

You’ll be encouraged to shake it out, soften in, stomp, sway, and rest—meeting each song as it meets you. No performance. No fixing. Just honest movement in a supportive, judgment-free space.

Come exactly as you are—raw, reflective, nostalgic, or ready to let go. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself.

All bodies. All stories. All feelings welcome.

Thai massage supports both deep physical release and nervous system regulation at the same time — making it powerful for body, mind, and energy.

Thai massage (often called “lazy man’s yoga”) blends assisted stretching, rhythmic compression, acupressure, and mindful movement. Here are some of its key benefits:

🌿 Benefits

Improves flexibility & range of motion through assisted yoga-like stretches

Relieves muscle tension & chronic tightness, especially in hips, back, shoulders

Enhances circulation & lymphatic flow through rhythmic compression

Supports joint mobility without strain

Improves posture by lengthening shortened muscle chains

Reduces stress and anxiety by shifting the body toward parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode

Regulates the nervous system through steady, grounding touch

Improves sleep quality

Reduces headaches and tension-related discomfort

Works along Sen energy lines (similar to meridians in TCM)

Helps release stagnant energy

Promotes a sense of balance and vitality

Can leave you feeling both deeply relaxed and energized

Encourages emotional release stored in the body

Increases body awareness

Because it’s done fully clothed on a mat, Thai massage feels spacious and fluid — more like a moving meditation than a traditional table massage.

Our Story

Wellness begins within. At Wise Owl Wellness, we help you reach your goals through integrity, creativity, and gratitude and by building community through compassion and love.

Kristy Harvey has over 14 years of experience as a movement educator, writer, and public speaker on topics of mindfulness, work - life balance, and living vibrantly. Her book, Mindfulness On the Move, gives suggestions on how to find stillness through movement. She is a Licensed Brown Belt Nia Instructor, an E-RYT Yoga Instructor and Trainer, Thai Yoga Bodywork Trainer, and owner of Wise Owl School of Yoga. She offers 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and Continuing Education courses for Yoga Teachers. Kristy is the former Administrative Director of the Mindfulness Center at the University of Virginia. In 2010, she developed and implemented a clinical trial at the University of Virginia Cancer Center to study the effect of the Nia Technique among women treated for breast cancer. The study is currently in review for publication in a medical journal. In 2011, she started a Restorative Yoga program for breast cancer survivors and caregivers at the UVA School of Nursing. Both of these programs are still ongoing.

In 2016, Kristy founded the Wise Owl School of Yoga and began offering 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings. Since then, she has certified over 50 new yoga teachers. Through generous donations to the Wise Owl School of Yoga's Pay It Forward Fund, Kristy has been able to grant partial and full scholarships to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to assist in their completion of a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Certification. This supports the mission of Wise Owl Wellness to bring more diverse yoga teachers to the world and "change the face" of yoga. In 2020, Kristy ventured into teaching online with the membership based Wise Owl Wellness LIVE group on Facebook. There she livestreams classes weekly in Nia, Yoga, Meditation, and more. Kristy has helped hundreds of people learn new ways to find happiness at work and at home. You can find her teaching yoga, leading retreats, and dancing through life. She currently lives in Tucson, AZ.
