No experience required! Expand your current repertoire of Thai Massage or learn it for the first time. Thai Massage is an ancient and powerful method of healing that combines acupressure, passive yoga stretching, and deep compressions to restore total balance for the body and mind. Discover the ancient secrets of Thai Massage and how it will enhance and lengthen your career as a massage therapist. Learn a 75-90 minute full body Thai Massage in the side-lying and seated positions. Massage in the side-lying and seated positions can provide greater access to certain areas of the body including the hips, low back and shoulders. It also allows you to work with a population that cannot lie prone or supine.

Bring materials to take notes, 2 Flat Sheets (one for each day), 1 pillow, 1 Thai Massage or Shiatsu Mat* (yoga mats do not work). If you cannot bring a mat (yoga mats do not work) let Living Sabai know and they can provide a loaner mat. Please wear loose or stretchy clothing, (no skirts or jeans) so you can enjoy giving and receiving this modality.

A lunch break will be taken midday; you may bring your lunch, or eat at one of the many restaurants located nearby.
