Thai Yoga Stretching/ St. Simons Island, GA
I envision, using Thai bodywork based stretching techniques during a hands-on stretching session. This course was developed to build on the knowledge and skills you have already honed as professionals, and further your capacity for effective one-on-one work during your sessions or classes as a yoga teacher, massage therapist, physical therapist, or fitness trainer.
Overview
- Skilled hands-on assistance from an experienced stretching & mobility therapist can be an excellent tool for learning. The physical act of compression or decompression paired with compaction and decompaction can facilitate optimal range of motion, as well as provide insight into postural alignment.
- Thai stretching techniques include active, passive, dynamic, and “Pin and Stretch” techniques, with a focus on increasing one’s proprioceptive awareness, mobility, and overall sense of vitality. This course will empower trainees in a broad range of techniques to provide exceptional individualized experiences for clients.
Objectives:
- This course will be an advanced study, distinctively dedicated to Thai Yoga Stretching, with a focus on integrating the global world of fascia.
- We will work in all postures: supine, prone, side-lying, and seated. This will readily integrate with your knowledge of asana and the energetics of movement.
- Students will learn hands-on stretching techniques utilizing Osteothai principles.
- Students will expand their knowledge on stretching as achieved in two ways: Compaction and Decompaction.
- Each participant will learn the practical application of Reciprocity, a technique that honors micro-movements and sensitivity during a stretch.
- Students will learn 3 main themes, based on their correlation to asana groups: hip openers, heart openers, and spinal twists.
