Moving navigation menu below the header is a very easy task even for those who are new to Thesis, mainly thesis customization is controlled by custom.css and custom_functions.php files.Customization in Thesis theme is done by hooks there are different hooks for different purposes, so remembering every hook is not an easy task so read how to Customize Thesis with OpenHook WordPress Plugin.See the image below shows navigation menu above header.

Below are the steps to move navigation menu below the header in Thesis theme:
