Bridge to Advanced: Transition from Beginner to Advanced Thai Massage
Review and Strengthen Your Thai Massage Foundation
This 1-week intensive course provides a personalized review and refinement of the 2-week beginner's course. It is designed to strengthen your foundation and prepare you for advanced study.
This specialized course focuses on your development as a practitioner through attention to body posture, rhythm, and the ability to chose and apply appropriate techniques in real-time. The program emphasizes energy conservation, mindful presence, proper breathing, and the technical details that will improve your practice.
This course can be valuable if you are returning to our school and are planning to take one of the advanced courses. While retaking the full beginner's course is usually the better choice, your teacher's opinion will be the best guide in determining which path is right for you.
It is also ideal for students who have completed one of the Extended Massage Programs and want to consolidate their understanding before continuing with advanced training.
