Foundations, Principles and Structure of Thai massage
This rich and colorful course brings us into the Thai massage universe. Thai Massage is about Touch. Often discriminated in our society, touch gives us the possibility to establish a dialogue with the one another. It is an unconditional act of Love, beyond preferences and judgments. Without it, the world would only be solitude and separation. With it, we have an amazing tool to facilitate the process of healing and evolution.
The teaching of this class is based on two main parts :
- The understanding of Thai massage foundations (meditation in movement) and the principles of Touch : how to get softness and power in our hands, how to move in a fluid way on the floor using our whole body.
- The learning of a Thai massage sequence. The sequence taught (massage of approximately 1hr & 30min) is specifically designed to address the needs of our Western patients through restoring basic flexibility, bringing back body mobility and balancing the flow of energy.
Without pre-requisites, this 5-day class is open to everyone :
- From the complete beginner who has no hands-on experience and wishes simply to be able to give a good massage to family and friends,
- To the health professional (physiotherapist, osteopath, nurse…) who wishes to expand his or her therapeutic techniques.

TEACHERS
Cecile Herault (France)
Cécile meets Thai Massage in Thailand, during a year of traveling in Asia during a first training in Chiang Mai at Sunshine Massage School without knowing that it will change her life!
When she came back to France, she enrolled in a class with David that we talked about. Something magical happens then, she meets Thai Massage as she secretly wanted to meet him, never to leave! She decides to start over everything from the beginning and does several times the different modules of the Lulyani school. It is formed in parallel with Yin Yoga and anatomy (AnatomYoga).
Naturally, she continues through Osteothai, returns to Thailand to feed on other teachings, and begins to assist David. She is now completely dedicated to Thai massage. This is an integral part of her life on the futon when she shares it with someone, but also in his daily life, because of the values he conveys.
