Thai Yoga Massage – An Intercultural Massage Training

Learn the art of Thai massage alongside local Nicaraguans and get a chance to practice your Spanish! In this course, you will be trained in the structure and techniques needed to practice a full body ShabaThaiYoga massage that brings together the traditions of Thai Massage, Shiatsu and modern Physiotherapy.

Practitioners tap into the body’s energy meridians to help remove blockages, re-balance the chakras, and restore the proper flow of energy – facilitating the body’s natural healing process to heal body, mind, and spirit. Techniques involve stretching, rocking, muscle compression and deep massage using thumbs, elbows, palms, forearms, feet and knees.

This course is an offering of the Intercultural Massage training, founded to support the creation of new economic opportunities for local Ometepe residents and is a cross-cultural healing experience in body, mind and spirit.
