Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient system of healing
with its roots in Yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and Buddhist spiritual
practice. This unique and complete system of Yoga therapy combines
rhythmic massage, acupressure, gentle twisting, deep stretching
and meditation. It releases tension, increases vitality and creates
wholeness of mind, body and spirit in both giver and receiver. The
movements and adjustments you will learn are a valuable compliment
in Yoga teaching.
Join us for nine transformational days at the beautiful White Lotus
Foundation, nestled in the mountains above Santa Barbara on land
once sacred to the Chumash Indians who called it Taklushmon--the
Gathering Place. During this week you will either begin or deepen
your practice of Yoga and meditation. Legendary vegetarian meals
and free time to hike, swim in natural rock pools, read or just
soak in the hot tub will complement this week of learning, healing
and rejuvenation.
 In this course you will learn:
- To structure and give a full-body Thai Massage
- Theory and massage of energy lines (meridians/nadis)
- Restorative Yoga poses to facilitate deep relaxation
- Applied Hatha Yoga stretching exercises and breathing
exercises
- Principles of energetic healing
- Basic therapies for common ailments
- Using Thai Therapeutic movements to adjust, balance and
correct Yoga asanas
- To work in a meditative state of mind
- Helping the receiver to experience a deeply relaxed altered
state
- History and theoretical foundations of Thai Yoga Therapy
- An introduction to and practice of meditation (vipassana
and other techniques will be taught)
This course is the equivalent of a two-week course taught
in Thailand
This training is open to everyone. It is a great additional
modality for Yoga teachers and massage therapists or for
anyone interested in well being, healing and bodywork. The
work is done comfortable clothed on a mat. You will have
a wonderful experience of learning and rejuvenation with
