This is a small class taught at a beautiful Bed & Breakfast retreat on 8acres overlooking a large natural marsh just outside of Lewes, DE. You will learn how to give a comprehensive 60-minute Thai massage, working traditionally on a floor mat with the client clothed. Class is over 4 days, Friday through Monday, 9am-5pm, for 28CEs.
This is a great training if you want to be able to offer basic Thai massage sessions but can not commit to a longer class at this time. It is also good if you want to supplement, or review, your existing Thai massage training.
You also have the option of adding an extra day to learn Side Position.
We’ll cover some Thai culture and Traditional Thai Medicine philosophy, including Sen, before diving into techniques, sequencing, and proper body mechanics that utilize leverage and gravity for minimal effort with maximum results. We will address the body from the top to the bottom, including working the feet, legs, hips, back, belly, rib cage, shoulders, hands, and neck. You’ll need to practice, and if you like to move while you massage, both you and your clients will love it!
Be prepared to move at a quick pace as we cover a lot of material in four days. You will benefit immensely from the personal attention, small class, skilled instructor, beautiful setting, and wonderful material.
HOUSING: This workshop will be held at a spacious Inn in southern coastal Delaware, just outside the historic town of Lewes at the terminus of the Cape May-Lewes ferry. For a truly immersive experience you can stay overnight at the Inn. There are 6 queen bedrooms, each with private bath, available at a deeply discounted price, with a light continental breakfast included. If you share a room and bed with a friend who is already part of your household ‘bubble’, the cost is even less. The Inn is closed for the off-season so you will not enjoy it’s usual 5 star experience, but it is a lovely place to use for a workshop nonetheless. Use the link below to reserve a room before MARCH 1st.
THINGS TO KNOW & BRING: Because we work clothed, wear loose comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement, with minimal buttons and zippers (such as yoga pants, sweat pants, loose cotton pants, t-shirt, long-sleeved top, sweatshirt, shirts with at least a small sleeve), no jeans or tight shorts. Bring layers to wear for your own comfort (it may be cool at times because we will be leaving the windows open). Please have finger and toe-nails trimmed, and since we use our feet in Thai massage consider getting a pedicure. Bring a lunch or snack to put in the shared fridge or restaurants are 10min away by car. You are welcome to use the shared fridge and microwave on-site; but there are no stove cooking facilities available.
No smoking is allowed on the property.
28 NCBTMB CEs, cost is $450, space is very limited so register early but no later than March 1st.
