SUMMARY:Thai Massage Phase V – Advanced Sideline - Postponed until further notice
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ariela Grodner \nThai Workshops postponed until further notice\, to restart at Phase I when it is safe to do so\, please contact Ariela if you are interested in getting on her list for future courses. \nTime: 9AM-6PM\n Workshop Price: $300 ($210 for current FSM students)\n Location: Florida School of Massage\n CE Hours: 18 Florida and National \nTo Register: Contact Ariela at 813-417-6745 or visit www.bodhisangha.com \nTraditionally\, in classical Thai Massage\, the recipient assumes either a sitting\, prone\, supine or side line position. Of these postures a strong working knowledge of sideline and it’s applications can be indispensable\, particularly for working with pregnant clients\, or those for whom lying on their stomach is uncomfortable or not possible. In this workshop we will modify all the material previously learned to accommodate these needs. \nWe will also undertake a stronger and more detailed knowledge of the energy lines in the side position and we will learn to apply different stances for different lines\, customizing them to the individual needs of the client. In this fifth level training\, we will apply knowledge previously gained while learning to trust in our intuition through the application of Ayurvedic principles. In this stage of learning\, we will primarily be applying energy through the use of our feet and developing the sensitivity\, balance and agility that naturally extends from this technique. With some emphasis being placed on the mutual source they share\, we will explore Hatha yoga principals within the context of Thai Massage and utilize this knowledge in the shared benefit of recipient and practitioner alike.

The methods facilitate changes to deep muscle without direct pressure\, so are very effective in conditions where deep tissue work is contraindicated or not tolerated. The techniques in this class are easy on the therapist\, gentle and non-invasive for the client\, can be performed with clients fully clothed and will cover all the major joints. \nAbout the Instructors:  \nKalpesh Patel has been in practice full-time in Gainesville for 17 years.

SUMMARY:Thai Massage: Phase IV - Ayurveda and Thai Massage - Postponed until further notice
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ariela Grodner \nThai Workshops postponed until further notice\, to restart at Phase I when it is safe to do so\, please contact Ariela if you are interested in getting on her list for future courses.\n Time: 9AM-6PM\n Workshop Price: $300($210 for current FSM students)\n Location: Florida School of Massage\n CE Hours: 18 Florida and National \nTo Register: Contact Ariela at 813-417-6745 or arielagrodner@yahoo.com \nDescription: It is generally accepted in learned circles that the earth itself possesses energy lines. Likewise the human body is also composed of pathways for various kinds of energy and information. Different disciplines and cultural traditions portray their location and means of access in alternate manners. The system taught in Thai Massage is a descendant of a synthesis of India’s Ayurvedic medical healing art and China’s meridian methodology. In Thai Massage we cultivate an awareness of the sen lines and practice various techniques with the intent of bringing them into balance with each other. When the energy lines are brought into balance\, harmony\, health and equilibrium are the result. \nKnowledge of the Thai energy line system was nearly lost to us. Some of the great practitioners of our time (Asokananda and Kam Thye Chow) pieced together fragments found in various Buddhist temples around the world\, and together have co-created a modern interpretation of this ancient knowledge (used today in many schools of Thai). In this intensive\, we will cover Marmas and the Ayurvedic application in this art. This weekend breaths life into our work and enriches the quality of touch. \nCompletion of all five Thai Massage phases leads to certification in Traditional Thai Massage. \nExperience with Thai Massage is a prerequisite for this class. Thai Massage practitioners with previous training other than Thai Massage Phase I\, II\, and III may enroll in this course with instructor approval. \nPlease bring:\n Foam mat (memory foam) or padded blanket\, Pillows and Wear loose\, comfortable clothing. It is a long day so bring snacks and lunch. \nTo register please contact Ariela at 813-417-6745 or visit her website at bodhisangha.com.

SUMMARY:Thai Massage: Phase III - Advanced Poses
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ariela Grodner \n Time: 9AM-6PM\n Workshop Price: $300 ($210 for current FSM students)\n Location: Florida School of Massage\n CE Hours: 18 Florida and National \nTo Register: Contact Ariela at 813-417-6745 or arielagrodner@yahoo.com \nIn Thai III we will be exploring advanced poses for those students already possessing a firm grasp of the basic material as taught in Thai 1 and 2. \nDuring this class we will be both learning and exploring more complex poses and techniques (inversions\, back bends\, advanced footwork etc.)  while also taking our awareness to a deeper place within seemingly simple touch.  In this course we will be refining our diagnostic abilities and increasing our external means of co-creating an individual session tailored to the recipients level of flexibility and particular needs. \nWe will also be taking a more proactive approach in cultivating the improvisational movement so necessary to being free within the form. In this class we will again increase our healing vocabulary while learning to be more present in our moment.
