Actually, the website refers to it as a “playshop” rather than a workshop. Instructor Mary Wolters, who also offers garden yoga a couple of times a week, will be teaching a full sequence of Thai massage during the two hour session. This doesn’t have to involve your romantic partner, though it can. You can also bring a friend along. It’s happening Saturday, July 29th from 1 to 3 p.m. From the Facebook event page:

Partner massage is a mutually beneficial and enjoyable way to connect with another friend-along-the-path using healing touch. Passive stretching, breath work and compression massage are a few techniques that we will explore in our afternoon workshop. This ancient massage offers an increased awareness of energy lines that have been mapped out throughout the body.

Honestly, seems like a pretty handy skill to have! Massages are expensive! It would be great to have a friend that you could call up when you have some knots to work out. Of course, you would need to be prepared to return to the favor at some point.

Wolters recommends wearing clothes you would wear to yoga. You can sign up here.
