Traditional Thai Massage Workshop with Tim Holt, CMT, RTT 9am-6pm, Sebastopol, $700.00, 50 hrs
Traditional Thai Massage is an act of meditation for both giver and receiver. It is a beautiful form of bodywork performed on a supportive floor mat. The receiver is fully clothed. It incorporates applied Hatha Yoga and Chinese acupressure. It is luxurious, challenging, intimate, and deeply therapeutic. You will learn the Chiang Mai style, as it has been practiced in the Wats (temples) for almost 2500 years. Our focus for this workshop is a professional training for Massage Therapists and Yoga instructors. We will teach a full body two-hour treatment in a demonstration - practice format. Students will learn Thai Massage sequences in the supine, prone, and side-lying positions..
