Thai Bodywork for Friends & Family

Sunday - November 15 - Tucson, AZ

 Compassion is your heart leading you toward mindful action.   


Learn a time honored tradition for practicing compassion with your loved ones, helping them feel better in their body and relaxed in their mind. 


Develop a deeper connection with yourself and your relations through Thai Bodywork.

What you'll discover

You'll begin to empower yourself with the tools and confidence to provide this caring, compassionate form of ancient healing for those close to you.

 

Through giving and receiving simple Thai bodywork techniques, you'll learn to dissolve tension and stress for common muscle aches and pains in the comfort of your own peaceful space at home. No massage experience required, just an open mind and heart for embodied knowledge.


You'll discover how learning to receive is just as important as learning to give, if not more.


You'll begin to discover the subtle, non-verbal ways we communicate with the body's movement and stillness, through patience, feeling and listening.


You'll learn about the foundations of Thai bodywork through the history, theory and cultural aspects of Thai Traditional Medicine, and how love, compassion, equanimity and inclusion are at the very heart of it all.


When practiced mindfully, these techniques are easy on your mind and body, fun to do, and a meaningful way to deepen connections. 

What you'll need to know and bring

Our practice will take place on comfortable, cushioned floor mats.


We will provide mats, linens, blankets, and pillows.


Wear flexible clothing you can move and stretch comfortably in. 


Bring water and snacks. 


For lunch, there are nearby restaurants or you may bring your own food. There is a lovely patio outside, where we may enjoy our breaks and lunch. 


This class is for couples, family, and friends, as well as massage therapists, bodyworkers, yoga instructors, energy workers, and anyone with genuine interest in the healing arts. You do not need massage experience to attend. If you're a massage therapist, this introductory class is a great opportunity to dip your toe into the world of Thai bodywork for CEs.


Sign up with a partner or be paired up with a classmate.


Instruction booklets will be provided to help you continue your practice at home. 


If you have trouble being on your knees or getting down and moving around on the floor, this class may pose a challenge for you. Contact us if you have mobility concerns.


Licensed massage therapists will receive 7 CEs and a certificate at the end of class. NCBTMB #1450 


Contact us with any questions you may have. info@twobirdart.com

Peter has close to 30 years of experience practicing and teaching Eastern modalities of bodywork, with specialization in Shiatsu and Thai bodywork.
