Thai Yoga Massage workshop at THAI BROOKLYN Studios, led by Thai Yoga Master, David Roma.
All levels - Beginner and Advanced
In this workshop, David will guide students in offering Traditional Thai Massage with a focus on the Sen lines (Ayurvedic energy lines) in the body. Students will learn a new sequence that can also be adapted into an existing Thai Massage practice and have ample time to learn while both giving and receiving.
The practice of Thai yoga massage is said to be thousands of years old, but it is still part of Thailand's medical system due to its perceived healing properties at both emotional and physical levels. Traditional Thai massage uses no oils or lotions. The recipient remains clothed during treatment. There is constant body contact between the giver and receiver, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The concept of metta (loving-kindness), based on Buddhist teachings, is an integral part of this practice. Well-known practitioners also emphasize meditation and devotion on a part of the practitioner as integral to the effectiveness of this practice.

About David Roma
David Roma first discovered Traditional Thai Massage while on assignment in Bangkok, piloting a private jet for a prominent communications company in the mid 1990s.
