Thai Yoga Massage Basic Course

This 4 weekend Basic Course will give you all the tools which you need to start your Thai Massage journey. We will learn traditional Thai Massage oriented on the 10 Energy lines, which are the foundation of Thai Massage.
Stimulation of the lines is done by acupressure or stretches. Our goal is to balance the energy system of our patient to support and facilitate relaxation and healing.
We will learn the map of the Energy lines, how to apply pressure, and safe stretches. To loosen up the body and joints we will also include some dynamic techniques.

A main focus will be learning how to work from our center, using our body weight instead of our muscles.
Starting from the feet we move towards the head with daily demonstrations, theory and practice time. During the course we will learn different techniques, which will then allow us to do a massage of about 2,5 hours (of course a shorter massage is possible).

You will receive a certificate of tuition after the completion of the course.
The Course language is English and/or German depending on the participants.
