September 28th-29th

Only twice a year does the new cycle begin at the florida School of massage. And the time is near. All are welcome!! Professionals and laymen. Thai massage is for everyone.
Course description-
Over the course of this first workshop, students will learn an hour and a half long form. Practiced on the floor, this form enables the therapist the use of elbows, knees, forearms and feet in a comfortable and efficient way that utilizes the body dynamic and ones own weight to distribute the force required for the application of the relevant techniques. The recipient lies relaxed and loosely clothed while the practitioner guides them through a series of yogic asanas and applies balancing touch to the body’s major energy lines and points. Thai Massage is an art whose ultimate objective is a perfected self-awareness through the joy of a mutually beneficial healing dance. Level 1 provides the necessary foundation for future techniques to be based upon, but also can serve as a stand alone practice, in and of itself, as students will learn a complete form during this class.

| Ayurveda and Thai massage
in Jacksonvilles' Ananda Kula!
September 11th-13th
|
One of the few other locations where Bodhi Sangha has developed a strong community, is the Ananda Kula Community. We have completed the series twice and have had varius Gypsy courses at our dear departed friends home, Tess Yackshaw. The community is excited and amazing.
Course description-
It is generally accepted in learned circles that the earth itself possesses energy lines. Likewise the human body is also comprised of pathways for various kinds of energy and information. Different disciplines and cultural traditions portray their location and means of access in alternate modalities and varying descriptions. The system we will be exploring during this class is a descendant of a synthesis of India’s Ayurvedic medical healing art and China’s meridian methodology. In Thai Massage we cultivate an awareness of the “sen” lines and practice various techniques with the intent of bringing them into balance with each other. When the energy lines are brought into balance, harmony, health and equilibrium are the result. Knowledge of the Thai energy line system was nearly lost to us.
Two of the great practitioners of our time (Asokananda, Kam Thye Chow) pieced together fragments found in various Buddhist temples around the world, and together have co-created a modern interpretation of this ancient knowledge. At this stage in the deepening of our skills and awareness of the present we will honor the continuation of the Thai Massage lineage through extending our conscious knowledge and encompassing a more subtle comprehension of the bodies energy pathways.

| Thai Foot Reflexology
course in Gainesville
Sept 7th -8th

I like to think of some of my special classes as gypsy courses. In the old days, Vippasana courses that were held in someones privste home, or rented facility, was caled a gypsy course. it holds the feeling od something more spontaneous and intuative. The Thai Foor classes are usually this.
We have a lovely home on a lake offered by my lovely friend, Judi Shila.
She is a long time friend and actually gave me one of my first proffesionla massages back in the early 90's.
The uniquness of The Thai Foot Class is its meditative Quality. We are almost seated and rocking for an entire hour. We can practice meditation and samhadi for the whole hour, and cultivate intuition and metta. (compassionate love)
Course description-
In this workshop students will learn to give an hour long session on the feet alone, while still affecting the whole body through aware stimulation of the sen lines and marma points. Utilizing both dry and wet massage (with and without oil) as well as a Thai foot stick, to glide the lines and press the points with greater accuracy and precision then the hands alone could provide. The style we will be exploring is a method derived from Shivaga Komarpaj of the Chiang Mai school of Thai Massage, and is for everyone, therapists and lay people alike. This is a powerful healing tool that can be implemented on it's own, or as an addition to the full body massage. No prior massage experience is necessary to be educated in this methodology.
