Thai Yoga Massage Certification Weekend (table or mat)
with Ariela Grodner
Open to Everyone!
Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art that combines the best of acupressure from Thailand and Hatha yoga from India, gentle rocking movements, deep rhythmic compressions, a variety of stretching movements and restorative yoga positions open the body’s complex network of tissue and energy lines. Thai Massage relieves muscular tension and pain, improves circulation, boosts the immune system, and balances the body energetically, facilitating mind-body integration. A session of Thai Yoga Massage results in restoring a healthy, balanced energetic flow to the recipient. It is a complete therapeutic treatment on its own, and may also be incorporated into other modalities of massage or into yoga classes.
Thai Massage on the table or mat is a special class formatted for Aquarian Dreams. Ariela has two books for both learning experiences. We will cover in this weekend how to give a basic Thai-Massage modifying for a table or a mat depending on the needs of either the practitioner or client.
Over the course of this workshop, students will learn an hour and a half long form. This form enables the therapist the use of elbows, knees, forearms and feet in a comfortable and efficient way that utilizes the body dynamic and ones own weight to distribute the force required for the application of the relevant techniques. The recipient lies relaxed and loosely clothed while the practitioner guides them through a series of yogic asanas and applies balancing touch to the body’s major energy lines and points.
All are welcome. You don't need to be professional. Thai Massage is for everyone.
