Level 1 (Nuat Boran / Thai bodywork) presents the Thai attitude and approach to bodywork, including the cultural and spiritual foundations which are essential to understanding this modality. Participants learn the techniques for stretching, range of motion, cross-fiber, and meridian work and a basic sequence for treating the wholeperson in supine, side-lying, prone, and sitting positions. In addition, meditations and breathing techniques are shown that can enhance any bodywork. The style taught is similar to that practiced in Chiang Mai (“Northern style”) enhanced with elements from other styles and Robert’s 20 years of experience. The workshop is very experiential with lots of guided practice and help with body mechanics, first on the floor and then on the table. An instructional booklet prepared by Robert with pictures of all the moves is included. This is a 3-day workshop giving 21 CE Hours credit. The cost is $350 We are offering an early bird special of $330 if you register before Feb. 20th.
Disclaimer: You cannot master Thai Bodywork in one weekend. Both Levels One and Two and lots of practice are required to be fully competent. You must practice, practice, practice to get the sensitivity, control, and flow that is both safe and effective and imparts the confidence in clients for them to really let go and receive the healing work. This course will give you all you need to get started with a good foundation.
