A Day of Side-Lying with Thai Massage, March 2022

Sorry to announce this class has been cancelled due to a family emergency-


One day dedicated to traditional Side-Lying Position, on a floor mat, March 2022, during the Level II Thai massage week-long course. You can join us for just 1 day to focus on Side Position; see prerequisites below.

This workshop is geared toward therapists who already have solid floor-based Thai massage training and want to learn more in Side Position.

Depending on your goals, you can take this day by itself, or you could join the entire week of Level II: Side, Back, Sitting Positions for a comprehensive week-long Level II training.

Side-Lying is an effective way to work on the feet, legs, hips, back, and shoulders while the client is comfortably bolstered and supported. It also gives you an alternate position to use for clients who are not comfortable or able to lay on their back for long, including pregnant women but also people with certain shoulder or back limitations.

Learn new fantastic ways to address the body in Side-Lying, for your own comfort, as well as that of your receiver.

Prerequisites: prior completion of a basic floor-based Traditional Thai massage class of at least 7hrs, learning at least a 45minute routine with the receiver clothed, lying supine. Even if you’ve already had some Side Position training, you will learn more variations in this class. You do not need to be proficient, but you will get the most out of this class if you review and practice your prior training beforehand, as we will build on those skills.
