Description:

Let’s learn the amazing “Seated Sequence” together!

Thai Massage is Flat without the knowledge of how to apply touch in the seated position. In this workshop, we will learn the beautiful “Lotus Palm” version of seated along with an advanced focus on digestion and some fancy flips with deeper back bends for more flexible clients.

The deeper component of this workshop is the ability to assess how to create a session depending on who shows up. At this point we’ve learned the foot sequence, the single leg sequence, sideline sequence, prone sequence, double leg sequence and closing sequence. By adding the seated sequence we can pick and choose how we want to begin our session depending on our clients in balance. It is perfectly acceptable to leave out things and spend more time with other things. I called this class collage because we’ve reached a point in our practice where we can design our canvas specifically to the needs of our partner.

When you apply for the course you will see the option for registering for all seven or just one. If you would like the discount since you’re applying for all seven and you missed the first few classes you can apply this tuition toward the next cycle. Either way you can either jump in one weekend at a time or you can commit to all seven and graduate at the next cycle.
