Thai Massage Techniques for yoga practitioners with Christina Zanni

This training is aimed at yoga teachers who wish to enrich their class with techniques from Thai Yoga Massage and cultivate awareness of touch. It also aims at experienced yoga practitioners who want to incorporate elements from Thai Massage and partner yoga into their practice.

In the seminar we will practice:

• Therapeutic pressure techniques from Thai massage, such as pressure with the palms, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet.
• Therapeutic movement techniques, such as rocking and harmonics that promote the functioning of the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response).
• Passive stretching techniques
• Application of the above techniques in the adjustments of yoga postures and during savasana.
• Ergonomics and body posture, to lessen the fatigue during adjustments.
• Exercises on the awareness of touch and meditation on the awareness of the body.
