18 Hour Expanded Thai Massage Course
Two weekend intensives

*exact hours coming soon
North Boulder - private location shared upon registration
Pre-registration required: acrowithlauraandcharlie.com/register
Thai massage is a form of bodywork that includes subtle tissue (myofascial) manipulation, joint mobility, assisted stretches, deep tissue, and energy work. Sessions are done clothed on a large mat and the bodyworker employs their knowledge of both physical and spiritual anatomy while working for holistic release and healing.
In this two-part, 18 hour course, we will begin with fundamental concepts of Thai massage that support longevity for the practitioner as well as an intentional healing journey for the recipient. In the second weekend intensive we will expand on these fundamentals to broaden the scope of our available skills while deepening our understanding of how to apply them in a professional setting.
The first weekend, you will learn and practice sequences for all of the four main positions - supine, prone, side lying, and seated - as well as when to choose each position based on the receiver’s needs. We will cover basic safety guidelines and contraindications and how to do a basic intake to instill confidence in your practice.
The second weekend will focus on learning some of the more subtle or advanced techniques as well as a deeper dive into working with the specific needs of a receiver. We will spend a portion of our time together exploring creative sequencing while giving and receiving feedback to help cultivate subtlety in our practice and understand the effects of our offerings.
Over this course you will be asked to work in partnership with other attendees to give and receive bodywork and feedback during class. You will also have practicum homework between sessions in order to solidify your new skills. We will work in community and bringing a partner is not required, but practicing with friends can be a wonderful way to encourage growth in your practice, so feel free to invite your community to sign up and join us.
