INTRODUCTION TO THAI MASSAGE
with Ariela Grodner
July 23 (Thursday evening) – July 26 (Sunday afternoon)

In the ancient temples of India, a healing art was formed. It was preserved later in Thailand, and today is known as “Thai massage”. Thai massage is a combination of yoga, Ayurveda, and the martial arts. It is practiced as a duet – one person is active while the other is passive. The dance is a beautiful flow of stretching, massaging energy lines and pressure points, and most importantly, the element of pure compassionate touch. By fully immersing yourself in this ancient dance you will learn skills that enable you to give (and receive) an hour-long session. Trusting in one's own intuition and making room for improvisation are the keys to an alive and full practice. Cultivating these qualities is at the heart of this intensive. I invite you for a weekend of healing, dance, play and spiritual growth. For more information about Thai Massage visit www.arielasthaimassage.com .

This course offers 18 CEU's approved by the National Board of Massage.

Ariela Grodner began her teaching career in 1992 in the jungles of southern India. She taught classical Hatha Yoga in tribal villages and prisons. After years of cultivating knowledge in the arts of Vippassana meditation, contact dance, and massage therapy, Ariela discovered Thai massage as the perfect fusion and natural extension of these practices and skills. She is a teacher at the Florida School of Massage, where she shares her knowledge of Thai massage as taught to her by Kam Thye Chow, master instructor of the Lotus Palm School in Montreal. She is a certified Lotus Palm Practitioner, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Hatha Yoga instructor.
