50 hours $675 NUAD BO-RARN, the Traditional
Massage of Thailand, is an ancient form of therapeutic bodywork first
practiced over 2500 years ago in the nation of Thailand and blends gentle
rocking, rhythmic acupressure and deep assisted stretches to open, exercise
and tone all the systems of the body. Thai Massage relaxes, refreshes and
revitalizes, both giver and receiver, and facilitates mind/body/spirit
balance. Joints are loosened and opened through manipulation, muscles are
stretched, internal organs are toned, vitality is increased and a deep state
of relaxation can be achieved. Performed on a floor mat in loose comfortable
clothing, both practitioner and client shift through four traditional
positions; front, back, side and seated. Thai Massage is often referred to as
'Yoga for two' and practiced in a meditative state. Please bring a shiatsu
mat or comforter and wear loose comfortable clothing. NOTE: Within the following Modules II, III and IV and
V, over 150 postures will be taught along with the introduction to Sen
(Energy Lines) work. Prior knowledge of Thai Massage techniques is helpful
but not required. Thai Module I is
offered as a “stand alone class” and is also part of the 50 hour course. Thai
on the Table Massage is offered as a “stand alone” class and is not part
of the 50 hours. * You must complete 50 hours and pass
test to receive your certificate. If a make up class is required, you will be allowed to audit the
NEXT CLASS ONLY (at half price for the hours missed) or tutor with the
