Traditional Thai Massage

Traditional Thai Massage is an act of meditation for both giver and receiver. It
incorporates the best stretches from traditional Hatha Yoga, the depth of
auyurvedic
medicine, and Chinese acu-point theory . It is rooted in and practiced with a
sense of
Bhuddist spiritual serenity. It is luxurious, challenging, intimate, and deeply
therapeutic.
You will learn the form of Nuad Bo - Rarn, as it has been practiced in the Wats
(temples) for almost 2500 years. The first section of the training will focus on
treatment sequences in supine, prone, side-lying , and sitting positions.
Emphasis
will be placed on learning safe and effective therapist body mechanics.
Specialized
segments will be taught for each major joint as well as visceral organ massage.
The
latter half of the training will focus on flow,integration, and assessment.
There will be
a requirement of 6 hours of documented practices outside of the classroom.
Students
will receive certification after performing an acceptable two-hour treatment on
one of
the instructors. This beautiful and ancient bodywork form is becoming
internationally
popular. Many local spas such as Sonoma Mission Inn, Osmosis Enzyme Bath and Spa
, Auberge Du Soleil, and the Spa Hotel Healdsburg now offer Thai Massage.
