Thai Massage Course

This Thai massage course is an extensive 7-day long program.

The course is based in an incredible location: a private villa in South of France.

The course is a hands-on practical course with 5 hours per day of Thai massage practice. We will have few theoretical classes too, like basic anatomy, physiology and five elements theory to complement the course.

Extensive learning materials are included in the course so you can take away notes and revise as you practice at home. 

We start every day with meditation and pranayama followed by a 1 hour yoga class.

About the course

As a massage therapist, practicing Thai massage and then being trained as yoga teacher, I found that the two practices have complemented each other beautifully in many different ways.

First, the barrier of "touching people" wasn't an issue when I had to learn to adjust people during yoga classes.

In Thai massage, we spend a lot of time learning about the quality of touch — so you are not only touching but are ‘giving’ through your touch, making adjustments during classes very meaningful and effective.

Second, gaining a practical understanding of anatomy and physiology.

Thai massage is also known as Thai yoga massage because many of the passive stretches that you learn during our course look somehow similar to yoga postures.

As you start to practice Thai massage you will get a better understanding of how each joint works, where people hold most of the tension and how the whole body is affected by that tension.

This will make you more sensitive to your students needs as you will be able to help them further.

Third (and most importantly), I learned how to cultivate mindfulness and presence through my Thai massage first, then yoga did the rest.

Thai massage was never intended to be a mere job. It was born in the Buddhist temples as way of re-invigorating the body after long meditation.

Mindfulness, presence and loving kindness are the ‘juice’ of your therapy other than personal gain.

Pranayama and meditation are essential parts of this course, so you have the chance experiment the effect of these practices and make them part of your own daily routine.
