SUMMARY:Somatic Massage and the Parasympathetic Response
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Adrienne Engel\, LMT\, SEP\nDates:\nSaturday\, September 12th\, 2026\nSaturday\, January 9th\, 2027\nTime: 8:30 am – 6 pm (Including a 1 hour lunch)\nWorkshop Price: $150.00 (Early bird pricing of $125.00)\nLocation: Florida School of Massage\nCE Hours: 8 CE credits (Florida and NCBTMB)\nCourse ID: 70275330\nTo Register: Text Adrienne at (352) 222-0236 for a payment link\nQuestions? Contact: Adrienne Engel 352-222-0236 or email at inbodymeant@gmail.com (text is better) \nWorkshop description: \nYour nervous system has a built-in mechanism that gently and dynamically releases pressure throughout your body. This creates an open pathway that helps your system integrate both current stress and long-held tension. When you guide your clients in activating this mechanism\, it enhances the effectiveness of any approach you use. Additionally\, it equips your clients with a long-term skill to reduce stress and pressure anytime\, anywhere\, making your job easier and improving their lives. \nThis 8-hour course will prepare massage therapists to recognize and engage the mechanism of the parasympathetic response in their clients. The parasympathetic response allows the body and mind to release and integrate tension. Students will learn to use their awareness\, support\, presence\, and language to facilitate parasympathetic responses. Students will learn the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system and how to track both sympathetic and parasympathetic states. Upon completing this class\, they will guide their clients in activating a parasympathetic response both in their sessions and daily lives. The active parasympathetic response is the foundation of somatic massage. \nTherapist bio – For more Information on Adrienne Engel visit https://www.inbodymeant.com/pages/adrienne-engels-experience-and-cred

Contact: Ariela at arielagrodner@yahoo.com \nDescription:\nOne day the student asked if Thai-Massage is just a series of memorized sequences. This moved me in the same way it must have moved my teacher\, Kam Thy Chow as well. \nOf course the sequences give us a foundation but ultimately one must become intuitive and have an understanding of the elemental body. This is how Ayurveda can come to play. \nIn this class we will break down the winds and how they affect our emotions. How to choose postures to balance different constitutions and how to understand the importance of feeling each of the elements in our own body so we are practicing with Wisdom. In this class we breathe life into the sequence. \nWe will learn to identify the Doshas\, Vayus and Pulse points. A breakdown of some of the Buddhist foundations such as\, Sila\, Samhadi and Panya. Which of the foundations of all good Thai practitioners. \n \nAriela Compares this class to the Wizard of Oz when it goes from Black and White to multi color. Its a wonderful weekend of energy work. \nWhen 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. \nAbout Ariela Grodner\nAriela Grodner is the founder and lead instructor and practitioner at the Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage.

SUMMARY:Somatic Integration Using Percussion For The Jaw and Occipital Region
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Adrienne Engel\, LMT\, SEP\nDate: October 11-12\, 2025\nTime: 8:30 am – 6 pm (Including a 1 hour lunch)\nWorkshop Price: $300 if signed before Aug 10th\, otherwise $350.00\nLocation: Florida School of Massage\nCE Hours: 16 CE credits (Florida and NCBTMB)\nCourse ID: CE4022451\nTo Register: Text Adrienne at (352) 222-0236 for a payment link\nQuestions? Contact: Adrienne Engel 352-222-0236 or email at inbodymeant@gmail.com (text is better) \nWorkshop description: \nWhen working with a new client and introducing them to Somatic Bodywork\, we first focus on the tissues surrounding the brain. By creating a sense of relief and safety in the neck and head\, we can positively impact the entire nervous system. In this class\, you will learn a simple yet profoundly effective session flow designed to help your clients’ heads\, necks\, and jaws relax within the safety of the parasympathetic response. These techniques have been essential in supporting my clients dealing with PTSD\, trauma\, grief and loss\, shock\, recovery from addictions\, and significant mental health challenges. \nThis 16-hour course will focus on the muscles supporting the Jaw and occipital region. Massage therapists will learn the anatomy of the automatic nervous system and how to track both sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. The parasympathetic response allows the body and mind to integrate tension patterns easily. Students will learn to engage the parasympathetic response using a combination of use of percussion tools\, such as a Theragun\, breathing\, movement\, awareness\, and intention. Upon completing this class\, they will guide their clients in activating a parasympathetic response in their sessions and daily lives. \nTherapist bio – For more Information on Adrienne Engel visit https://www.inbodymeant.com/pages/adrienne-engels-experience-and-cred

It is a combination of Ayurveda\, energy lines and advanced posture is in the sideline position. A lot of the Siddhi postures we’ve learned in phase 3 will be reviewed but in the sideline position. It is a dynamic workshop that offers ways to address the body in such a beautiful and creative way. I am thankful to the Sunshine net work and the teachers who brought this lineage to me in Montreal many years ago shortly after Asokananda passed. It felt like a true gift to my practice and it is a pleasure to share it to serious students of Thai-Massage. \n \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Thai Massage Certification Phase 7 - Thai Foot Reflexology
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ariela Grodner\nDate: Sept 26 – 27\, 2026\nTime: 9AM – 6PM\nCourse Tuition: \n$1800 if registering for all seven levels in advance\n$280 if registering for each class individually\n$350 for a single drop in.\nStudents who commit to all 7 class will get a discount\, If you miss a class for whatever reason\, it can be made up next cycle. \nLocation: Florida School of Massage\nCE Hours: 18 CEs per weekend or 126 CEs for all phases (Florida and NCBTMB) \nTo Register: Visit Bodhi Sanha’s event page \nQuestions? Contact: Ariela at arielagrodner@yahoo.com \nDescription:\nThis is our seventh class in our long journey together and it will be an honoring of ones walk into the world as Tai Yogis! We will have a celebration and graduation at the end of class. If you would like to attend as a single workshop we absolutely invite you to join us. This class stands alone and no other experience needed except to want to share compassionate loving touch through the feet. \nIn this workshop students will learn to give an hour long session on the feet alone\, while still affecting the whole body through aware stimulation of the sen lines and marma points. Utilizing both dry and wet massage (with and without oil) as well as a Thai foot stick\, to glide the lines and press the points with greater accuracy and precision then the hands alone could provide. The style we will be exploring is a method derived from Shivaga Komarpaj of the Chiang Mai school of Thai Massage\, and is for everyone\, therapists and lay people alike. This is a powerful healing tool that can be implemented on it’s own\, or as an addition to the full body massage. No prior massage experience is necessary to be educated in this methodology.
