The sacred dance of Thai Yoga Massage
Giving a Thai Yoga Massage is like leading a partner through an intricate, improvisational dance. To lead the dance well, one must develop a deep kinesthetic awareness of how and where to apply pressure, use momentum, anticipate transitions, sequence movement and communicate non-verbally with a client.
Our Journey through the barrios of the Dominican Republic is a quest to discover the dancer within each of us. Each day we will study bachata and elements of salsa, flamenco, yoga, and Pilates in order to cultivate the rhythm, flexibility, balance, core strength, spatial awareness and subtle communication skills that we need to gracefully lead clients around our Thai Yoga Massage mat.
Although the emphasis of the classes will be on how various concepts and themes apply when giving a Thai Yoga Massage, the curriculum promises to deliver valuable practices and perspectives that will benefit all types of bodyworkers.
