Learn to open the energy lines of the body with movement, stretching and compression. This ancient and dynamic form of bodywork opens the joints and releases blocked energy and can be practiced in its traditional form or integrated with other forms. In this class we move beyond the basic elements of Thai Massage and explore how to weave these elements into an entire sequence. Learn to give a complete massage using all four body configurations (supine, side-lying, prone and seated) as well as integrate this dynamic practice on to the table.
Intermediate Thai Massage - Working with Structural Injuries @ Mckinnon Institute of Bodywork Therapy
Tue / Thurs, 4 weeks (32 hours), 9:00 - 1pm, Nov 28 - Dec 21, 2017 - $610, Click here for more info
This class builds upon the instruction in Thai 1 which introduced the basic forms, principles and techniques of Thai Massage in each of the primary positions: Supine, Prone, Side-Lying & Seated. In Thai II we continue to learn new techniques but now the emphasis shifts to addressing common issues and injuries that a practitioner is likely to encounter in private practice; common structural ailments such as sciatica, low back pain, frozen shoulder etc. After taking this course, you will feel better prepared to apply your knowledge of Thai Yoga bodywork towards helping clients cope with injuries and pain.
Advanced Thai Massage - Caring for Emotional Wounding Patterns @ Mckinnon Institute of Bodywork Therapy
2018, Dates yet to be determined - $610
Thai I introduced the basic elements & principles of Thai Massage. In Thai II we learned to adapt these techniques to address common structural injuries. In Thai III we travel one step further and explore how Thai Yoga Bodywork can be used to alleviate and disrupt common emotional wounding patterns such as chronic anxiety, restlessness, isolation, depression, and other such negative emotional patterns that are so widespread in today’s society. Drawing upon the mind-body wisdom of Ayurvedic science, one of the ancient healing traditions from which Thai Massage stems we learn how to take the practice to a deeper level and provide our clients with a more integrative experience.
