(To request this training or express interest in hosting, contact Jennifer directly.)
Thai Yoga Massage (TYM) is an ancient healing art that combines the alignment of the breath, yoga asana, and mindfulness meditation of Metta (loving compassion) into a flowing dance of continuous rhythmic motion to deliver a soothing and revitalizing experience. TYM is based on an understanding of the energy lines and acupressure points present in each person. By working along these lines and points, the modality balances the energetic body of the recipient and frees & removes any blockages that may present in physical, mental, or emotional dis-ease.
Details of the Training
This 4 hour workshop is specifically for Licensed Massage Therapists and Professional Bodyworkers who have an existing table practice. We will learn about the foundational elements of Thai Massage and how to incorporate them into your table work. Mindfulness, breath work, proper body mechanics, draping, and stretching & compression techniques will be highlighted. There will be lecture time, demos, practicum time, and space for your questions.
Part 1 will focus on lecture, the lower body & back body sequences.
Part 2 will focus on the upper body, neck, & transitions. Part 1 elements will also be reveiwed.
Whether you are ready to enhance the enjoyment of your practice, wow your clients with new tricks, refresh your body mechanics for longevity, gain CE's, or simple hang with other stellar colleagues, this training is for you! Previous experience in Thai Massage is not required to join this training. However, you are asked to have an existing table practice as we will not be learning a full Thai Massage sequence but rather learn to add elements into your existing regime.
Pre-requisites: You must be actively practicing massage therapy or bodywork with existing table work. Part 2 will give priority registration for folks who have taken Part 1, Level 1, or Hands-free with Jennifer. Then other massage therapists may be consider depending on back-ground and receptivity to listen to pre-recorded lecture prior to Part 2. If you are considering this training but not sure if it is the right one for you, contact Jennifer for a free consultation.
