Add something new to your practice while saving your hands! Clients love the passive stretching and compression of Thai massage. And you get to use your whole body. The work is deeply therapeutic and effective for relieving pain, softening fascial constrictions and tight muscles, while increasing range of motion and promoting overall relaxation.

We cover basic techniques, history and philosophy, benefits and cautions. You will learn traditional Thai-yoga massage techniques that are adapted to be easily done on the massage table. Giving and receiving a 60-minute routine addressing most major muscle groups of the body with the client lying supine and prone, addressing the lower and upper body.

With practice, you can offer a full Table Thai session, or take away some awesome techniques to add to your regular massage.

You will be shown how to work with the client draped or clothed, but in this class for ease of learning the receiver will remain clothed. Please wear loose comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement, no jeans or skirts.
