Introduction to Thai Yoga Bodywork - A Partner Workshop
with Andrew Rosenstock
$70 per partnered pair
Bring your favorite person (partner, friend, co-worker, or maybe even your mother!) and learn how to reduce muscle tension, enhance relaxation, and reduce stress with Thai Yoga bodywork!
Learn fluid techniques of assisted stretching, range of motion movements, and therapeutic healing touch in a fun and interactive environment! This workshop is perfect for people wishing to practice with family and friends and for yogis wanting to incorporate safe touch into their teaching! We are asking people to come in their own pairs to make sure everyone feels comfortable in this class.
Dubbed “the lazy man’s yoga”, Thai Yoga bodywork ("Nuad Bo-Rarn" in Thai) is an artform that is influenced by ancient Indian and Chinese perspectives of the body and wellbeing. It is a bodily and energy-based healing system that combines acupressure, yoga and Buddhist insight to unlock the body's inherent healing wisdom.
Participants will learn:
The workshop will be led by Andrew, our senior resident bodyworker, who has spent over a decade studying Thai Bodywork in Thailand with numerous schools and lineage holders. He loves sharing these tools with others. These practices are not only fun, relaxing and therapeutic, but they also bring joy to both the giver and the receiver.
The workshop is suitable for beginners and is open for more experienced practitioners. Wear comfortable yoga clothing and bring a water bottle.
