This course runs from 10am-5pm.

A one-day workshop designed to give a taste of Traditional Thai Yoga Massage.

This Introduction and taster to Thai Yoga massage is aimed both for:

• People who are considering a career as a practitioner of Thai Yoga Massage.
• Practitioners of other therapies who may want to add another skill.
• Yoga teachers, pilates teachers or personal trainers who want some skills to apply within their work.
• Individuals or couple’s wanting to learn to give their loved ones or friends a wonderful treat.

Everyone should have the basic skills and techniques to be able to give a partner/friend/child a simple and effective massage to help ease common everyday aches and pains, and to lovingly connect through touch.

The day will start with an introduction talk covering the basic history, background and theoretical foundation of Thai Yoga Massage, followed by a practical demonstration.

Throughout the day, you will learn to give a full foot massage, some applied yoga leg stretches, massage techniques for the back, neck and shoulders, and a relaxing face massage to finish.

Thai Yoga Massage is well known for its balancing and restorative qualities. The treatment is both relaxing and energising, and especially useful for relieving tension and pain.

Through massaging others, you’ll become aware of your own breath, and learn about the relationship between giving and receiving. The Thai Yoga Practitioner cultivates a centred state of being, becoming a vessel for the physical application of loving kindness that is at the heart of traditional TYM.

This day-workshop can be a cheeky present for your loved ones, as they will learn how to give you a wonderful massage!
