Language classes and Culture Series schedule is
found on the Language class page

Please note that now when you register for any 40 hour Thai massage class 30 or more days prior to the beginning of that class, you can take $40 off of the tuition price. For 16 hour classes, take $16 off of the tuition. For 8 hour classes, take $8 off of the tuition - and so on. Our apologies, but this is not retroactive for folks already registered for a class, and it does not apply to language classes nor does it apply to the Thai Massage In-Depth six month program.

A Note on Studying Thai Massage
Please note that many of our classes are extremely learning intensive with vast amounts of information being transferred. Students will often wish to set aside some time in the evenings to go over information learned that day. Also, Thai massage puts the therapist in positions that are very different from those used in massage modalities that utilize a massage table. If you are uncertain of your ability to perform this modality, it is recommended that you participate in two or three gentle yoga classes in one day. This can be a good indicator of what it will be like to participate in a Thai massage class. Thai massage can be especially difficult for those with knee injuries or an inability to kneel and squat. If you have any remaining doubts, or if you have a physical limitation or learning disability that we should know about, please contact us to chat about it ahead of time. Please also be sure to notify us if you are pregnant or sight impaired.
