Description

Thai massage is an ancient healing practice from Thailand, blending yoga-like stretches, rhythmic rocking, and deep tissue work to enhance flexibility, improve circulation, and relieve tension. With roots in Ayurvedic and Southeast Asian traditions, this massage also works along the body’s energy pathways, known as Sen to promote overall well-being.

In this introductory training, you’ll learn the basic techniques of Thai massage, including how to use your hands, elbows, and feet to provide a full-body treatment that relaxes and revitalizes without the use of oils or lotions.

Learn the Basics of Thai Massage

This 24-hour, 4-day course is designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of traditional Thai massage. Through a structured program combining theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, students will gain a solid foundation in basic techniques, body mechanics, and the principles of Thai massage.
Upon competition of this course, you will be able to perform a 1.5-hour Thai Massage. Helping clients improve their ROM, increase energy flow, and relieve tension throughout their body.

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of anatomy. No previous Thai massage training is required. This class is ideal for professionals who are currently working as personal trainers, yoga instructors, and massage therapists as an add-on to their practice. As well as current Thai massage practitioners, who would like to deepen their practice.

Course Outcome: 100% attendance is required to pass the class.

Students will be expected to actively participate in class. Students should expect to be comfortable with working from the floor since the work will be performed on a mat on the floor. Not ideal for students who have issues with bending their knees or are unable to squat. The class is very physical and you use your whole body. However, with proper body mechanics and practice, most of this work will seem effortless.

Preparation for Class: Make sure you bring or wear a pair of loose-fitted comfortable pants that you can easily move in and a comfortable top. (No jeans, pocket zippers, large buttons, or thick material. Leggings are ok, but very tight material is not recommended.) Bring a pen or pencil for taking notes and a pillow.
