Sorry to announce this class has been cancelled due to a family emergency-
This is a traditional training diving into Front Position with the receiver clothed lying supine on a cushioned floor mat, learning a 60-90minute session that addresses the whole body.
You’ll experience daily Wai Khru and movement warm-ups, discussion of Thai culture and Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM), understand cautions and benefits, learn over 60 specific techniques, practice how to move comfortably and easily while you work, be guided on good sequencing with a focus on 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. This intensive class includes lots of practice time but most students continue to practice on their own to become fluid.
This is a great training if you want to be able to offer comprehensive Thai massage sessions and learn a variety of techniques to adapt to different clients. It is also useful if you want to expand, or review, your existing Thai massage training.
We cover a lot of material in these five days to give you a solid foundation in a comprehensive treatment. There will be time for supervised practice, variations, questions, and working within your comfort level. 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 beautiful 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 continental breakfast included each morning after your overnight stay. Look for our BRING A FRIEND DISCOUNT. 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.
