Each class lasts 1 hour.

You practice massage together:

• 30 minutes giving massage
• 30 minutes receiving massage

You simply follow the teacher step-by-step — just like in a yoga class.

By the end of the session you will have given and received a complete Thai massage from feet to head.

If it is your first time, please arrive 20 minutes early to complete a short intake form and change into comfortable clothes.

Please note that the class starts exactly on time. Once the class begins, the entrance door is closed so the group is not disturbed.

No.

Many people come alone and we pair people in class.

You are also very welcome to come with a partner or friend if you prefer to practice together.

Yes.

The class is suitable for all levels, even if you have never given a massage before.

Many people join simply because they love massage and want to feel healthier and more relaxed.

Massage therapists also join to take better care of their own body.

No.

The Thai Hand Method – Massage Class is not a professional training.
It is a practice class where you come to give and receive massage.

You simply follow the teacher, just like in a yoga or fitness class.

The focus is on experiencing massage and practicing regularly, not on studying theory or techniques.

If you would like to learn massage professionally, we also offer Nuad Thai Massage Program and Teacher Training at our school.

Please wear comfortable sports clothing that allows you to move easily.

We recommend:

• Long sports trousers (for example jogging pants or loose massage pants)
• A long-sleeved shirt
• A T-shirt underneath (so you can remove the long sleeves if you get warm while giving massage)
• Clean socks

The massage is practiced over clothing, so long and comfortable clothes work best.

For hygiene reasons we ask everyone to change clothes when arriving at the school or at least put on clean socks. Because we practice massage together, hygiene and fresh clothing help create a comfortable experience for everyone.

We have a shared changing room, but no lockers.

No.

Thai massage is traditionally done over clothing, without oil and without a massage table.

You practice on comfortable mats on the floor using pressure, stretches and gentle movement.

In Thai massage we sometimes sit on our knees while giving massage.

If this is uncomfortable for you, we can often make simple adjustments, for example by placing a cushion under your hamstrings or changing the position.

Most people are able to participate comfortably with these adjustments.

However, if you currently have a serious knee injury or pain, we recommend first booking a massage treatment with a certified therapist before joining the class.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

During pregnancy we recommend receiving massage from a therapist specialized in pregnancy massage.

Because the Thai Hand Method — The Massage Class is practiced in a group setting, we cannot adjust the massage to individual pregnancy needs. For this reason, the class is not suitable during pregnancy.

You are very welcome to join us after your pregnancy, when you can again enjoy giving and receiving massage.
