We propose you to check the following courses:

Advanced Thai Massage: Side Position

Developing techniques and whole body massage in the side position.

Massage in side position allows to work on specific places more effectively.

Next class : 9 Dec. 2024

This course is designed to help you develop specific techniques and a whole body massage in the side position.

This approach is relevant to massage people with back pain and/or pregnant women.

As your practice of Traditional Thai Massage develops, you come to realize that an important proportion of your clients come for relief of back pain or emotional issues. Working from the side position also allows recipients to turn inwards, toward themselves, allowing the masseuse to gently facilitate the healing of emotional and physical blocks.

With pregnancy and back problems, it is often too painful to lie in the supine or prone position, but from the side position, you can still offer a complete Thai Massage treatment.

Assisting people in an emotional state and those who have difficulty connecting with themselves.

Thai Massage Using the Feet

Let us walk all over you!

30 Dec. 2024 to 1 Jan. 2025: 3 days/18 hours

With Sukha

Discover the ancient art of Thai massage and unlock a new level of therapeutic care for your clients. In this specialized 3-day workshop, you'll immerse yourself in the powerful techniques of using the feet to deliver a deeply balancing and rejuvenating massage experience.

As massage therapists, we often start by using our thumbs and hands to work on our clients. Over time, we progress to utilizing our elbows and knees. However, in many cases, we can preserve the longevity of our fingers by taking a step back and leveraging our feet and body weight instead.

Sen Therapy Workshop: Structural Energy Lines

Thai Meridians Workshop: Customizing Massage through Acupressure and Energetic Balancing

6 to 10 Jan 2025: 5 days/30 hours

With Sukha

The Sen Therapy Workshop teaches you how to customize a 60 minute massage by choosing the Sen lines and Marma points taught in our 5-day workshop. We will be using our Lotus Palm Advanced Manual for reference.

Although there are Ayurvedic principles in the book, the workshop does not teach Ayurvedic Thai Massage. If students already know about Ayurveda, this will be an advantage for them.
