Thai Massage Open & Ground

Traditional Thai Massage is experiencing a rapid growth in popularity for its benefits of relieving muscle tension, clearing restricted patterns of movement, stimulating energy flow and restoring balance. 

It is a misconception that Thai massage is ALL about stretching. Applying acupressure along the sen lines with with your palms, thumbs, knees and feet is an important part of a Thai massage session. This work generally comes BEFORE any of the deep, exotic stretches that are often portrayed in the Thai massage photos we see in advertisements. The sequence in this class builds upon itself so that the body is properly prepared for the full body stretches we will teach you at the end. Supine and prone position. 

This course is suitable for all experience levels and is beginner-friendly.
