Thai Massage

Damion Bond

Sunday, 1pm @ The Sanctuary

Thai Massage is a light hearted workshop/study space designed to introduce you to simple, easy, and effective massage maneuvers. Using your palms, thumbs, elbows, forearms, knees and feet, you will be guided through tension release techniques to use on a partner. Please bring a friend and bring a pillow and blanket and/or a mat!!

Nationally recognized Thai Massage instructor Damion Bond opens this super fun, lighthearted, and centering workshop with a brief lecture on the philosophy, etiquette, and history of Thai massage. This is followed by a guided demonstration of relieving postures and movements that cover and sooth all major muscle groups and energy meridians. Explaining how palms, elbows, forearms, and feet can be used as effective healing tools, she guides each partner through a forty-five minute relaxing massage. Gentle stretching combined with decompressing maneuvers allows each partner to feel relaxed in this yoga-like series...it is as though your partner is practicing yoga for your body while you remain passive and at ease.
