Thai Massage, or Nuad Bo-Rarn as it is known in Thailand, is an ancient wholistic therapy with its roots in Buddhism, yoga, and Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine.  Thai Massage sees illness as reflecting an imbalance in the body/mind/spirit, and seeks to re-establish harmony by an interactive manipulation of the body using passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines (called Sen). The effect is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing. Sessions are traditionally performed on a floor mat with the client comfortably dressed in loose clothing. Therapists and clients love the way it feels.

This class is a fun way to learn some thai stretching techniques that can easily be done on friends and family.

Who Should Attend– No massage experience needed! This class is for couples, friends, parents and teenagers, yoga teachers/students, physical therapists, massage therapists, personal trainers, and anyone else with an interest in learning and experiencing the gifts of Thai Yoga Massage. The movements can be done on each other for fun and relaxation.
