This course will provide you with a beautiful flow of movements & techniques that will expand your side lying repertoire.

​

Side lying can address the whole body. In fact, a full Thai Massage can be given in this position. Energy line work, marma points, brief review of musculature that make up the side body + unique ways of addressing the legs, hips, back body, shoulders, neck & head will be included.

Side lying is ideal for clients not comfortable lying flat on their back or face down for any reason, especially pregnancy. Much of the side lying work can also transfer to a table with a few adjustments. 

Open to certified Thai Massage practitioners looking to learn more skill sets.
