Answer
On your first day, expect a warm welcome! Most schools start with an introduction to the history and philosophy of Thai massage, which sets the stage for your practice.
• You'll likely begin with some basic stretching and breathing exercises to prepare your body. This is important as Thai massage involves a lot of movement.
• As the day progresses, you'll be introduced to foundational techniques that you can practice right away. Don't worry if you feel a bit overwhelmed initially; that's completely normal! Just take your time and enjoy the learning process.
Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Look at the qualifications, safeguarding, facilities, language support and suitability for your own health or family needs. A pleasant online description is not a substitute for checking the current programme and speaking directly with the provider.
