Thai Massage 101 is a 4-day, 16 CE course presenting the fundamental theory of traditional Thai massage and protocols for LMTs at all levels of experience. Each class is a self-contained unit with a “Dojo Talk,” offering a unique lesson on Thai theory, history, and culture, followed by a narrated demo that details and highlights segments of the Thai Massage movements in the lesson plan. Afterward, students pair up and take turns practicing with the instructor, allowing time to practice and receive the work of each lesson.

Thai Massage offers massage therapists and their clients an alternative approach to massage using popular stretching and yoga-like postures in a rhythmic meditative method influenced by Ayurvedic Medicine while organizing a vast collection of massage techniques along the energy pathways within the body similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As an alternative to the full 4-day series, students may attend a single class with the opportunity to earn 16CEs upon completion of all 4 classes in the series.
