Description

Traditional Thai massage is based on Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. It focuses on opening up the 10 main meridians (energy pathways), or in Thai massage referred to as sen lines, by using gentle stretching combined with compression and acupressure. The effect is that it balances the meridians or “sen pathways”, the body’s structural frame and joints for a free flow of life force energy that allows the body to heal itself wherever needed. Traditional Thai massage is fluid and dance-like and is done on a floor mat, requiring the practitioner to have a strong core and uninjured knees, rather than doing it on a table – one has more leverage and there is no need for any strain in any of the movements and in effect there is a meditative quality and stillness that permeates the session that is as healing for the giver as it is for the receiver. This special workshop, however, will focus on applications of Thai massage to working at a table. This will help integrate the ideas and practice of Thai massage into many of the other modalities you may practice. This workshop will teach you the foundations of Thai massage, applications to table-work, and how to work from your center (hara) and your heart, efficiently using your body and energy and also learning the proper angles and body placement so that you can get the most power without force. You will walk away with the tools and awareness needed to implement what you will learn from this workshop into your existing practice. Thai massage is the bridge between deep tissue and energy work and is a very profound and effective modality to offer your clients.
