What it's about
Massage Thai 2, subtitled "a sacred dance", is the five-day continuation of Massage Thai 1 and completes the basic course of the Lulyani school. It revisits the fundamentals of the first course and adds many advanced techniques and the first dynamic and rhythmic movements, with special attention to transitions, so that the massage gains fluidity and continuity.
Participants learn advanced sequences and a new position, the sitting position, and approach therapeutic aspects of Thai massage, in particular headaches and lower back pain. Exercises develop the sensitivity of the hands and intuition, in order to "feel and be" rather than do. The course also teaches when and how to use Thai herbal compresses, a traditional tool of Thai medicine.
Only participants who have previously taken Massage Thai 1 with the school are accepted. It is taught by David Lutt from 26 September to 1 October 2027 at the Maison d'Amis in Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes near Orange. The course is residential: it starts at 18:00 on the first day and ends between 14:00 and 15:00 on the last, with teaching from 09:30 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:30 in between, in French and/or English. Tuition is €650 (€350 for a repeat). Accommodation and organic vegetarian meals are extra.
