Use your feet to give a deep Thai massage. Therapists will be either standing with a chair for balance, or sitting on the chair while working on the client who is on a mat on the floor. Imagine if Thai and Ashiatsu had a baby – it would grow up to be this massage!

Class Description:
Experience the fusion of Thai massage and Ashiatsu in this unique Barefoot Thai class. Utilizing your feet for deep compression, you’ll perform a full-body Thai massage routine on a floor mat, incorporating stretching, movement, pin-and-stretch, and rocking techniques. In traditional Thai, the therapist is often on their knees, but in this class, we will be either standing or seated on a chair. Deep compressions are performed with a soft foot, using your body weight. Effortless pressure!
