This 2 day (14 hr) advanced workshop is intended for Thai
massage therapists who would like to explore the art of deep,
therapeutic bodywork, with a special focus on hips, back, legs, and
feet. Over the 12 years that Christopher has been specializing in
treating chronic, deep, physical and emotional pain and congestion,
he has discovered numerous subtle and powerful techniques for
coaxing muscles and energy to release. This detailed sense of body
mechanics cannot be found in any book. We are fortunate to have
Christopher here to share his rich, unique, and detailed sense of
body and energy mechanics, as well as his clear, heart-based
approach to life. This class will help you sense a body and energy
more deeply, will provide you with a therapeutic sequence for the
lower body, and will enhance your existing practice in numerous
ways.
Chi Nei Tsang
Fundamentals. 7 ceu's - $175
The majority of physical and emotional imbalances and congestion are
stored in the abdomen, yet ironically, abdominal massage has become
virtually a lost art and science. All energy lines pass through the
abdomen, and this area becomes a 'dumping ground' for stagnant
energy. This is perhaps one of the most profound forms of bodywork.
In addition to addressing ailments associated with all the internal
organs, this work is proven to have incredible healing effects
throughout the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. Chi Nei
Tsang is slow and precise work, and this class will proceed with
careful awareness and attention to anatomy and energy flow. Learn
the basics of Chi Nei Tsang and the unique approach to massaging an
abdomen. Open to beginner or advanced bodyworkers who would like to
incorporate abdominal massage into their practice.
