- The seminar is an introduction to the art of Thai massage. It is aimed at anyone who wishes to get in touch with this ancient art to offer massage to others, yoga teachers and those involved in physical practice
Level 2 (30h):
- We take the first steps towards personalizing the therapy session, learning to observe and evaluate the body of the receiver and his/her needs.
- We work on the energy lines, applying therapeutic pressure while giving movement to the joints and body parts (rocking, harmonics, flexion-extention, rotations).
- Finally, we begin to practice on the advanced stretches and flying movements of Thai Massage. In the latter, the masseurs become bases, who guide the receivers, in upside down positions in the air, stretching them and applying therapeutic pressures using gravity.
