Taking Your First Thai Massage Course...
Thai massage is a healing art equally balancing intentional energetic bodywork and physical manipulations of both the giver and receiver. With this specific bodywork being performed on the floor and your client clothed, you will be more open for movement and breathe than you have experienced with traditional table massage. Unlike our Western therapies, Thai massage primarily implements positions of kneeling, squatting, and kneeling warriors which demands full attention of your body to execute properly without injury. On a positive note, this removes stress from wrists and hands. If you are unsure about your capacity to perform a Thai massage, it is suggested that you engage in two to three gentle yoga classes in one day or try our Introduction to Thai Massage Course. This is not meant to deter students from participation in learning but really to prepare their bodies for the dynamics of each Thai massage class. You are encouraged to contact Laura at bodhitreeinfo@gmail.com if you have any concerns or questions about your ability to take a class. Please notify us if you do have any physical limitations or if you are pregnant, so that we may provide you with the best environment to learn.
