Learn the Art of Thai Massage w/ Eli McNamara

Come with a partner/friend and learn how to support one another through the art of Thai massage! Walk away with an overview of this modality’s origins, an understanding of efficient body mechanics, and a dynamic approach to the energy lines of the body through rocking, compressions, and gentle stretching.

Come with a partner or friend and learn how to support one another through the art of Thai massage. Truly a yogic practice, the Thai approach honors the relationship between giver and receiver, asserting that both equally benefit from the practice. Thai massage incorporates rocking, compressions, and gentle stretching for a full- body experience. Walk away with a short sequence, or flow, to share with your loved ones to foster loving kindness through touch.

Please note: This workshop is limited to 18 participants and you must come with a partner in order to participate. Both people need to register on Mindbody to reserve your space.

*Modifications and variations will be shared for every technique taught as there is no one-size-fits-all massage. Please arrive in good health and ability to communicate your body’s needs.

*Bring any thicker yoga mats and/or blankets you may have to create a comfortable mat. The studio also has mats and blankets.

*You must be a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of North Carolina to charge for bodywork. Please share this practice responsibly with those you trust.
