Learn the fundamentals of Thai massage, a wonderful interactive practice that people love to give and receive, in this small class in a beautiful setting in southern coastal Delaware.
This hands-on workshop will show you Thai massage techniques to use in your existing practice. We'll cover basic methods, philosophy, cautions, and you’ll be led through a variety of passive stretches and deep compressions as you partner up to give and receive, with the receiver prone & supine. We’ll address the feet, legs, hips, belly, chest, neck, shoulders, and back. You'll leave with a 45-60min comprehensive routine to start practicing right away.
Try the floor for great leverage and ease of pressure, or integrate the passive yoga stretches and deep compressions with your existing table routine for a more powerful session that’s easier on your body.
Thai massage is based on the ancient medical techniques of Thailand, which has roots in Ayurveda, Buddhism, and indigenous Thai shamanic culture. It manipulates the Sen to help increase flexibility, reduce muscle pain, relieve joint restrictions, soften fascia, and promote deep relaxation and rest. Therapists love the variety of movements and clients love the way it feels!

Bring layers to wear for your own comfort.
