I am interested in a long Thai Massage program.
We believe that a minimum of 10 days (60 hours) is required to learn the fundamentals of Traditional Thai Massage.
Repeating, at least once, the beginner’s class is necessary to strengthen your Thai massage foundations and better prepare you for the advanced courses.
Depending on your needs, available time, and goals, we are happy to customize a program for you, based on the beginner's course and our existing scheduled advanced classes.
I have no experience in Thai Massage. How much time do I need to dedicate to become a good professional?
Becoming a Thai massage practitioner is an organic process that CAN NOT be standardised by number of hours studied or number of massages given. Therefore, we do not have a fixed schedule for a long-term class, but rather suggest that our students stay, study and practice until they have reached their goal. Please keep in mind that the learning process never ends.
Our Combo-8 intensive Thai massage training course is a very intensive training and the students reach a high level in relatively short time.
Would you recommend the 10 days beginners class to start with?
Yes. This beginner's course is the foundation upon which all Thai Massage courses are based, and without a strong foundation it is difficult to progress in this healing art.
If you have no prior experience of Traditional Thai Massage,You have found the right place to start along your path.
The beginner's course is also the right introduction to our advanced courses and workshops.
