We will extensively review the Thai 1 material\, both strengthening knowledge of the form itself and deepening awareness within the exercises\, in order to bring our consciousness to a more subtle level during the healing process. also we wil add more moves to each sequence. \nIf you missed phase 1 it’s OK to jump in to phase 2.

In this class we will begin to learn inking. I love the analogies of art. I perceive Thai-Massage as an art.
