Connecting through healing touch is one of the greatest gifts you can give. During this seven day retreat, you'll immerse yourself in the ancient healing art of Thai massage with Jeff Mandell. In a fun, interactive atmosphere, you'll learn a professional 90-minute Thai massage sequence.
Through Jeff's guidance, you will access your intuitive healing energy to give a restorative massage, guiding the recipient through a series of postures and massaging the energy lines of the body. This massage is a great way to finish a private yoga session, or just spice up the Shavasana at the end of your yoga class.
This seven-day package also includes two 60 minute massages, unlimited Yoga and gym classes, and guided tours to nearby lakes, volcanoes and islands.
*Thai massage is practiced on a mat on the floor with the recipient fully clothed.
