4) Advanced Side Position Course with Laurino and Bali, Sunshine Mangalam HUN
Date: 7.-14. August, 2018
Place: Kisnyalka, Hungary (1,5 hrs from Wienna or Budapest)
Programme: For those who have completed a beginners course of 60 hours or more, this course will focus on the side position, aiming to give as complete massages as possible to those patients with difficulty receiving the other positions. In a western therapeutic context, these cases will be quite frequent, as many patients will be too stiff, heavy or fat to receive the other positions. The side position is the one most people usually sleep in, therefore it allows for a lot of relaxation and letting-go on the side of the patient. As a lot of the material is given from sitting on the ground, less work and effort are required from the therapist, with more fun involved with the dynamic rocking motions incorporated into the programme. The course also offers training for giving massages to pregnant women. The course will be followed by a vipassana retreat from the evening of August 15th to the 27th., at the same venue, participants of the thai massage course are welcome to stay!
