Contact: Ariela at arielagrodner@yahoo.com \nDescription:\nThis workshop is intended for those students who have already familiarized themselves with the Thai Massage practice through taking Thai 1 and its ok to begin with this phase as well. 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. Just know that there will be a lot of material covered. It is often that there will be students who missed the first class jumping in at this phase so Ariela will modify it for you. There’s also the option for a private tutor prior or after class if students would like support. \nIn our first weekend together we learned the watercolor phase. In this class we will begin to learn inking. I love the analogies of art. I perceive Thai-Massage as an art. In the inking aspect of this art we will tap into the energy lines and the acupressure points. We will review and also build. \nAbout Ariela Grodner\nAriela Grodner is the founder and lead instructor and practitioner at the Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage.
