TABLE THAI: Thai Elements: Supine and Prone Table Techniques ~ Embodied Wellness Festival 2022
$84.00 - $140.00
In this one day course students will learn basic Thai massage techniques and Thai energy line technology that can easily be incorporated into a traditional Swedish or therapeutic table massage.
Thai massage techniques give massage therapists access to another way of working with the body, incorporating stretching and moving the joints, opening up energy pathways, and releasing long held tension patterns.
For the client Thai massage helps cultivate mind/body connection, deep relaxation, and pathways for the body to heal itself.
For the therapist, Thai massage can help lighten the burden on overused hand and arm muscles, broaden the variety of techniques in one's toolbox for each client, and give therapists a new marketable skill.

- Water bottle
- Please consider bringing your own lunch / dinner (otherwise, you may spend half your time driving on break).
- Massage table
- 1 twin size sheet
- 1 pillow for under your head during side-lying position
