This course has been designed to give students a foundational sequence and knowledge of

Thai massage in its traditional form. The students will learn a sequence of stretches,

compression, and body alignment principles that will allow them to perform a Thai massage up

to 90 minutes. While Thai massage was originally designed to approach the body as a whole,

the sequence is designed to increase health and well being of the entire body in both supine

and seated positions. The students will learn correct body mechanics while performing the

massage that will allow efficient results to both practitioner and client. Every class will begin

with a yoga session to bring awareness towards the body specific to that days lesson. There

will be an introduction to energetic lines and how to access them through manual manipulation.

The students will be able to modify the massage to accommodate specific needs as well as

contraindications to Thai massage. There will be time each day to practice the sequence taught

that day and the days prior to develop a fluid congruency to the massage.
