Table Thai Acupressure

At the end of the course you will be able to demonstrate a Thai-style acupressure treatment on the table for the arms, legs and back that can be applied over the sheet, clothing or directly on the skin without lubricant. You'll learn how to use your palms and thumbs to open and clear pathways of movement and energy to allow the body to better adapt to stress. Feel all lines and points from your instructor and share plenty of practice time with your classmates. Come prepared to be drawn on with washable, non-toxic markers!
