Class Description:

Intro to Thai Massage Level 1 honors the tradition of Thai Massage while meeting modern professional standards. You will learn safe body mechanics, assisted stretching, therapeutic sequencing and a clear technique breakdown.

In this course you will learn how to perform a full body Traditional Thai Massage routine that you can add to your existing practice. You will learn to use hands, knees, feet, arms and legs to move the client through a series of passive yoga postures. This class will cover energy lines, poses, sequences, body mechanics and Traditional Thai -Yoga techniques.

NOTE: Thai Massage is done on a mat on the floor. Students will spend several hours on the floor during the course of this class. If you have any special considerations or wish to discuss this aspect of the class, please contact me at omshantihealingarts@yahoo.com.

Please bring a shiatsu mat if you have one, 1 flat sheet and a pen.  You will be given a manual with techniques and sequencing for you to use when you practice in you own office.
