This specialized 1-day workshop deals with important aspects of traditional nuad boran that are often neglected in other programs of study. We practice techniques to use body weight effectively, to correct bad habits, and to work with good body mechanics and breath coordination. We learn to avoid injuring the hands, wrists and back; how to soften or intensify techniques without strain or hyper-extension; how to improve flow from one body position to another; and ways to support clients during treatments.
We practice synchronized and oppositional breathing patterns, and we discuss their relevance and application to the most common Thai massage moves. We work in supine, prone, side and sitting positions, and we practice on others as we refine our own techniques and sequences based on more sustainable concepts. Finally, we learn and practice helpful techniques for preparation and energy protection before a Thai session, and cleansing and detox techniques after a difficult session. Specialized visualizations and pranayama exercises are also practiced.
This is a one-of-a-kind workshop, specially designed for students and practitioners of Thai massage, bodywork, and movement therapy. Previous experience in Thai massage or bodywork is required. This course is approved for CEUs by NCBTMB and THAI. Certificates are awarded at the end of the workshop.
