SUMMARY:Thai Massage: Phase I - Introduction to Thai Massage
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 email arielagrodner@yahoo.com \n  \nDescription: Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient healing technique that has been in popular use in Asia since the time of The Buddha (roughly 500 b.c.).  The practice itself manifests as a flowing dance that synthesizes the cumulative knowledge and techniques of many disciplines. Doctor Skivagakorpaj\, Ayurvedic Master and personal physician to the Buddha\, is considered the originator of the form. Employing the graceful rooted movement of internal martial arts and the compassionate mindfulness instilled by the meditative experience of the practice\, Thai Massage is taught both as a form to follow and also as a key to improvisational bodywork. The essence of the practice is self-awareness\, and the fluid expression that naturally extends from that awareness. During this class we will explore the core movements\, stances\, hand techniques and rooted breath awareness necessary for a strong foundation in the art. \nOver the course of this first workshop\, students will learn an hour and a half long form.  Practiced on the floor\,  this form enables the therapist the use of elbows\, knees\, forearms and feet in a comfortable and efficient way that utilizes the body dynamic and ones own weight to distribute the force required for the application of the relevant techniques. The recipient lies relaxed and loosely clothed while the practitioner guides them through a series of yogic asanas and applies balancing touch to the body’s major energy lines and points. Thai Massage is an art whose ultimate objective is a perfected self-awareness through the joy of a mutually beneficial healing dance.  Level 1 provides the necessary foundation for future techniques to be based upon\, but also can serve as a stand alone practice\, in and of itself\, as students will learn a complete form during this class.

SUMMARY:The Art of Presence: Accessing the Parasympathetic
DESCRIPTION:Dates: Sunday Oct 21\, 2018\n Time: 9AM-6PM\n Workshop Price: $150 ($125 if registered by October 1st. $250 if registered for both Saturday and Sunday classes)\n Location: Florida School of Massage \nCE Credits: ★ Florida: 9 \nTo Register: Contact Frank Merillat at 352-371-0743 or e-mail at fmerillat@mac.com \nThe ability to be present with another human being is key to healing. In this one-day class\, students will explore the sensations of touch long before skin to skin contact. Then\, once tactile\, the somatic communication among fascia\, the nervous system\, the endocrine system and the use of presence will be explored through experience. Through massage techniques\, we will enrich and enliven our sensory capacity to perceive and communicate presence and encourage the body to enter the parasympathetic state\, which allows for relaxation\, rejuvenation and a sense of meditative calm.  This class will focus on applying the art of presence to all types of bodywork modalities to increase the effectiveness and the depth of transformational healing. \n  \n  \nAct Now! \nQuestions: fmerillat@mac.com \n  \nAbout the Instructors \nFrank Merillat has been an instructor at the Florida School of Massage since 1995. He teaches Kinesiology\, Neuromuscular Therapy\, and Boundary and Ethics in the basic program. He also offers several different CEU courses as both and instructor and provider. He offers an eclectic approach to bodywork combining elements from several styles of work to customize the work to meet the individual client. He has studied with Deane Juhan\, Tom Myers\, Ben Benjamin\, as well as Giorgia and Hugh Milne\, all noted instructors in the bodywork field. His time with these noted instructors is incorporated into his teaching style and approach to the body. He enjoys time with his family\, dogs and on the salt water\, as well as working with people. \n  \nAmanda Concha-Holmes merges her training as a cultural anthropologist with her practice as a massage therapist and her love of ensemble contact improvisation dance. In her massage practice (licensed in 2010) and in the classes she teaches\, she integrates her training in Reiki and in Thai massage with her years of teaching Transformational movement\, ecosenses and partner yoga. For the last few years\, she has been dedicated to crafting her practice around chair massage to be able to offer healing touch to people in their daily lives. She looks forward to sharing the conceptual and experiential aspects of reaching the parasympathetic state along with anatomy essentials and techniques in a chair massage practice that will become a source of clients for a career in table and Thai massage at the office. \n

It is excellent for marketing as well as for a profession on its own. Increasingly more businesses are requesting chair massage as a gift or a service for their employees. Wedding planners\, grocery stores\, hotels and hospitals are some of the varied businesses that appreciatively pay for chair massage services. \nThis course will examine the basic anatomy of the neck\, shoulders\, arms and lower back that a massage practitioner can access while doing chair massage. It will integrate multimedia teaching tools along with activities that illustrate upon the human form the basic muscle structures including their origins and insertions. Students will learn where the muscles are located\, how they function\, and specific techniques to address them during a chair massage to relieve pain and tension.

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.

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.

In this class we will again increase our healing vocabulary while learning to be more present in our moment.
