The Traditional Massage of Thailand is quickly being accepted as
popular menu item in world class spas throughout the globe. It has
appeared in Newsweek, the New York Times, the Oprah show , and the
Martha Stewart show this past year ! It has taken the Western world
3000 years to discover this powerful ancient healing work based on the
Auyurvedic principles of Hatha Yoga. It is a luxurious two to three
hour treatment. It incorporates stretches from Hatha Yoga, compression
and point work from Chinese acupressure, and the serenity and flow from
Thai culture.
This one day taste of Thai Massage will introduce you to this
exceptional form of healing. We will select sequences that are easy to
learn and feel fantastic. This is an introductory “hands on” class,
allowing a glimpse into a very thorough and complex form.
We will finish our day with a sampling of gourmet Thai delicacies. All
are invited . A bodywork background is not required. It is a great way
to meet new friends, experience a powerful form of bodywork, and
celebrate Thai culture !

therapeutic.
