SUMMARY:Thai Massage Certification Phase 3 - Advanced Postures of Thai Massage
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ariela Grodner\nDate: May 16 – 17\, 2026 (2026 cycle)\nApril 17 – 18\, 2027 (2027 cycle)\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:\nLet’s learn the amazing “Seated Sequence” together! \nThai 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. \nThe 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. \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:Resistance/Release Work with Deane Juhan
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Deane Juhan\nDates: Friday-Sunday\, April 30-May 2\, 2027\nLocation: Florida School of Massage\, Gainesville\, FL\nCost: $600 ($550 early registration discount price if registered by April 1\, 2027).\nCEUs: 24 Florida (live\, in person and relevant to massage) and/or NCBTMB CEU credits\nProvider #: 50-12278\nFlorida course #: 20-300409\nTime: Class will meet from 9-6 each day \nTo register for the class or to get more information contact Frank Merillat directly at fmerillat@mac.com or call 352 213-4603 (cell/text). \nCome join the group and experience time with a talented bodyworker\, teacher of the Trager Approach and author of Job’s Body: A Bodyworkers Handbook. This is a great opportunity to explore contact with the body-mind and a deeper understanding of the workings of the movement body. There will be lots of demonstration\, hands-on practice and the opportunity to share and discuss insights. \nCourse Description:\nRelaxation and stress relief are certainly two main goals of bodywork. But there is an important addition to your clients’ somatic well-being that more directly addresses the patterns of muscular habituation\, posture\, compensations due to injury and the restoring of freedom of movement and freedom from pain: the re-education of the overall sensory motor patterns that have accumulated over time. \nThe work that will be presented in this workshop is an innovative approach developed by Deane Juhan\, based in large measure upon the rehabilitative techniques of Dr. Milton Trager. \nFunctionally\, we are really one muscle that is divided up by the connective tissue structures into different compartments in order to provide specific vectors of motion and coordinated groups of motor units. We are not robots with hinges\, cables and pulleys\, but shape-changers\, and any gesture involves the participation of widespread muscular supports and motivators.\nResistance/Release work is designed to re-coordinate our musculature as a whole and to train more efficient and effective recruitments of muscular contraction and lengthening involved in any position or movement\, from feet to head and from sleeve to core. The result is dramatically improved muscular coordination\, adding both ease and strength to all of our activities. This approach fits well with most modalities practiced by massage therapists. \nDeane would like to focus on the role of presence as a key aspect necessary for effective results and client contact.  He will also be discussing the neurological underpinnings of habit formation\, and the effects of R&R work on breaking up these old patterns and  the cultivation of new more functional habits to facilitate letting go of holding and moving in new\, ever more exploratory ways of self-development. Slides\, lecture and discussion will be utilized to present a clear understanding of the ways in which habitual pathways—together with sensory and contractile systems—forms the basis of all muscular patterning. This understanding dramatically enhances the intentions and effectiveness of virtually any practice that has to do with muscular habits and movement patterns. It is directly applicable to all bodywork modalities that deal with trauma\, pain management\, rehabilitation\, improved range of motion\, enhanced performance\, and the development of more effective habits of both muscles and mind. Practitioners of yoga\, massage\, Trager\, Cranio-Sacral\, Feldenkrais\, Rolfing\, Alexander Technique\, Pilates\, Gyrotonics and Physical Therapy will find this useful and applicable to their practice. \nAbout the instructor: Deane Juhan is the author of Job’s Body: A Handbook for Bodywork and Touched by the Goddess: The Physical\, Psychological and Spiritual Power of Bodywork. He has been a professional bodyworker\, teacher and lecturer for over 50 years\, including 19 years on the Esalen Massage Staff and 40 years as a practitioner and instructor of The Trager Approach. He spent years in direct contact with Dr. Milton Trager and this is reflected in his approach to bodywork. He has taught his seminars in anatomy and physiology for bodyworkers in the US\, Canada\, Europe and Japan.
