for learning this ancient healing art. It allows the training
to be modified according to individual needs and learning styles
with an intuitive hands-on approach. Classes are therefore provided
with a maximum of 10 students to ensure an optimal learning environment.

85 hours. 9:00am - 5:30pm
This course will provide you with a strong foundation in the study
of Thai Massage.
You
will learn:
- 134 techniques from
the northern style tradition.
- A therapeutic approach
to the body which never goes to a level of pain or beyond the
clients limits of comfort.
- The use of proper
body alignment and awareness while performing each technique.
- All 4 positions (front,
back, side and sitting) as taught by the Institute of Thai Massage
(ITM) in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
- Mindfulness through
yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong
Northern
style is a slow, rhythmic massage focusing on soft tissue, producing
a meditative and relaxing experience.
The 134 techniques taught will give you 3 times more than can
be performed in a 1 1/2 hour session. This gives you creative
alternatives and flexibility in developing individually modified
sessions. This course is recognized by the Institute in Chiang
Mai as a "Sister program." People receiving this certificate
may go directly to advanced training levels in Thailand if they
so desire. Instruction manuals are included in the fee.
Supervised Clinic
In-Clinic practice completes this program with session
practice. This is a valuable opportunity to integrate the techniques
from levels I and II and to learn modifications and session routines
by working on clients and fellow students in the Spirit Winds
Clinic. This supervised practice makes a marked difference in
the time it may take a student to gain confidence with the techniques
and to begin to intuitively apply them in Thai massage sessions.

Level III Advanced Sen Line Therapies
Thai massage is based on the theory that "chi" our
life force energy, flows through a system of channels called
sen lines. When chi is blocked tension, dysfunction or disease
are created in our bodies. Using palpation combined with active
and passive stretching previously learned in the Level 1 and
2 program, Level 3 focuses on advanced sen line therapies
for special conditions. This then prepares you for the next
level of training.
Level IV Advanced Therapeutic Thai Massage
In Level 4 you will gain in-depth knowledge of acupressure
points from the Chinese system. You will learn how to work
the points effectively for relieving painful conditions. You
will begin to cultivate an intuitive approach to the body
and how to apply therapeutic skills in a dynamic flow for
transformational healing.
You will learn:
o The theory of the energy line system used in Thai medical
massage called "sen"
o A comparison of the sen lines with the12 meridians (Chinese)and
the nadis (India)
o The therapeutic application of sen in combination with techniques
from level 1& 2
o Advanced therapies for special conditions
o Acupressure points for headache, back pain, shoulder and
neck problems, and numbness in the legs and arms
