1-day, Thurs, June 25, 9 am - 5 pm - 7 hours CEU, with certificate and 20 page booklet
Many people, especially those who sit for long periods, store tension in their upper bodies. This stress remains with us in the latter part of the day, and often contributes to discomfort, pain, inflexibility, migraines and other conditions. The techniques and concepts practiced in this course may be used by anyone to help relieve stress and tension in the upper body; the back, shoulder blades, shoulders, neck, head and face.
Working mostly in sitting and supine positions, we explore a wide variety of techniques using feet, palms, forearms, elbows, palms, thumbs and fingers to release pockets of tension through stretches, compressions, acupressure, and opening techniques. We also review and refine upper body sen (energy lines), and traditional Thai techniques for the neck and face, many of which can be adapted to table work. Finally, a wide variety of manual techniques and pressure points are presented, many of which are not taught in general Thai massage classes. Thai herbal balms and waters are used for some of the face and neck techniques, and Thai healing concepts are explained and practiced.
This is always an enjoyable workshop because the mood is meditative, and because everyone loves to receive work on their shoulders, neck, head and face. Previous experience in Thai massage is helpful, but not necessary. Massage therapists, yoga practitioners, alternative healers, and all are welcome. Please join us for this exciting, fun and relaxing workshop!
