Along with these, we’ll practice reusi dat ton (Thai yoga) for self-care, verbal and non-verbal communicating, making smooth transitions, and using intention and intuition in this hands-on, relaxed learning experience. We’ll introduce the Thai energetic system, the importance of self-care ritual, wind gates, common acupressure points and abdominal massage. Each participant will receive a handbook including illustrated instructions for the various Thai massage techniques we practice during the workshop. This course will help to lay a solid foundation from upon which you can build your Thai bodywork skills. There is always so much more to learn!

All techniques will be practiced in the traditional style, fully clothed, on a mat on the floor. Wear comfy workout or yoga attire you can move and stretch in. Bring a couple of pillows, sheets and plenty of drinking water. Contact us if you have your own Thai mat or futon to bring. We keep our classes small for your benefit. Space is limited to 12.
