Foundations in Thai Massage Level 1
Prerequisites: None, open to all.
Foundations in Thai Massage is a game-changer and is designed for massage practitioners, yogis, or anyone with a thirst for how to give an incredible Thai Massage.
Thai Massage combines the best of yoga, massage, meditation, and energy work into a powerful healing modality. Among its many benefits, clients report an amazing ability for the massage to help remove tension, eliminate pain in the neck, shoulders, back, and legs, and to feel more youthful, deeply relaxed, and refreshed.
That is because Thai Massage gets the body to move how it was designed with assisted stretching while combining customized massage techniques. As such it helps clients to heal themselves naturally.
What’s more, you learn to give it as a meditation in loving-kindness and compassion. As such the benefits are shared and they are profound. By design, you’ll learn to massage so that it is at least as good to give as it is to receive.
This class is designed for yoga teachers, massage therapists, and those without experience. In addition to the massage itself, yoga teachers will be able to gain confidence and knowledge for giving assistance, incorporate Thai Massage into their classes, and have a new treatment to offer private students. Massage therapists will be able to start offering a new modality to their clients right away. And those without any experience can give a high-level massage even after one weekend of training.
Those without any massage experience are most welcome. In fact, this curriculum is designed to support students without any experience and help them reach a high degree of comfort and expertise right from the moment they complete the course. As a result, you’ll be able to impact the lives of the people you massage.
In this course, you will learn a complete 75-minute massage:
• How to massage back, shoulders, legs, feet, head, and hands;
• The secrets of developing intuitive touch;
• How to get started on a successful Thai Massage career
This course is accredited with NCBTMB for continuing education and can be used as continuing education with Yoga Alliance.
