Back by popular demand… Learn the ancient healing art of Thai Massage through hands-on experience w/ a friend, spouse or loved one. Thai Massage is believed to have originated in India more than 2,500 years ago, before making its way to Thailand where the techniques and principles gradually became influenced by traditional Chinese medicine. Tara will guide you and your partner through a series of easy, deeply relaxing massage techniques that utilize rhythmic compression, acupressure, joint mobilization and stretching of all parts of the body. Thai Massage is often called Thai Yoga Massage, because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. People love Thai massage and say it is like doing yoga without any work.Experience a rejuvenating and educational therapy that you can share with family and friends! Class size is limited and prepayment/reservations a must.
Have an interesting idea for a workshop that promotes the healing arts? We would love to speak with you about the possibilities of sharing it with the Breathe community. Our lovely studio space is also available for rental to hold meetings or special events. Please contact Sandra Sanford at 850-291-5506
