Traditional Thai Massage

with D'vorah Swarzman

Come enjoy this wonderful opportunity to learn an ancient healing art.

Traditional Thai Massage was created in India over 2500 years ago by the Physician to the Buddha, Dr. Jivaka Kumar Bhacca (Dr. Shivago). It integrates ayurvedic, yogic and Chinese medicinal ways of treating the body.

Learn to perform a full two-hour treatment on friends, family and/or clients. A full session includes stretching, compression, rhythm, meridian (sen) work and joint mobilization. The intensive includes daily practices of Yoga, mindful movement and meditation.

This workshop is open to anyone, not just LMTs.

We cover supine, prone, seated and side-lying positions. A certificate of hours will be given for the 50 hour course. CEUs approved for LMTs.

The environment will be both meditative and playful. Learning will be all
hands on!
