Thai Massage Training in Bali
Learn Traditional Thai Massage in the Mystical Retreat Setting of Bali

Thai Massage in Bali

December 27-31 , 2008
Deadline for registration is November 30, 2008

ITINERARY

Come on your own or bring your family to enjoy the holidays together, we can make arrangements either way, call us to discuss the details.
December 26: Go to Santra Putra Retreat Center and get settled in. Free day to explore and pamper yourself in the spas
December 27-31: 5 Day training in the Traditional massage of Thailand "Blended northern and southern style sessions from basic to advanced"
January 1: through to your choice of return date: Free Days to tour the island, we will do a group sightseeing day trip together and we can help you plan the rest of your adventures.

This 5 Day training is for both the beginner to Thai massage and the experienced Thai practitioner. I will be teaching a blend of both Northern and Southern style techniques.

By the end of the training you will have learned techniques from all four positions of Thai massage: supine, side lying, prone and seated positions.

You will learn the ten main sen (energy) lines, acupressure points, contraindications, as well as soft tissue and deep tissue approaches to therapeutic and intuitive work. I always give alot of attention to detail and focus on proper body alignment of the practitioner throughout my trainings, bringing maximum benefit to both the practitioner and the client.

You will receive a certificate for 25 hours of training. Each day begins and ends with yoga and meditation practice to increase body awareness and to bring one into a place of mindfulness. When Thai massage is done from a meditative state it can create an environment for profound healing and expansion of consciousness for both the giver and the receiver. Each day will begin at 8:30 am until about 2:30 pm, leaving plenty of time for relaxation.

After the 5 days training in Thai Massage there will be an optional one-day training in Traditional Balinese massage and spa treatments taught by a Balinese teacher Made Nasib, owner of the Beji Ayu Spa in Ubud. He has also just opened a new outdoor spa in the rice fields (pictured below).


He will teach us on location at the spa a variety of Balinese massage techniques as well as specialized spa treatments authentic to Bali such as Traditional Lulur massage followed by a flower petal herbal bath.

We will have ample time to learn first hand also by receiving these treatments in the decadence of luxury spas on the island during our stay (ahhh, my very favourite part of learning). This training will provide a beautiful blend of techniques in the ideal tranquil setting for studying a healing art...magical Bali.
