Thai Massage Intensive

Step onto a floor mat and into an ancient healing lineage. Over six transformative days at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, you'll learn the full-body techniques of traditional Thai massage—a practice that weaves together physical skill, energetic awareness, and profound respect for the human body. Led by Jill Burynski, founder of Living Sabai, this Thai massage intensive grounds you in both the practical art and the philosophy that makes Thai massage a complete healing modality.

Whether you're a licensed massage therapist seeking to expand your offerings or deepen your existing practice, this workshop invites you into a different way of working. Thai massage, performed on the floor with the therapist's hands, forearms, elbows, and feet, is as much about sustainable presence as it is technical precision. You'll leave with the skills to offer Thai massage as a standalone service or to integrate it seamlessly into your table-based work—and, equally important, with a felt understanding of how to inhabit this work without burnout.

This is not a surface introduction. It's a foundational immersion in the Sen energy line system, the philosophy underlying every technique, and the full repertoire of supine and prone positioning work that constitutes authentic Thai massage practice.

What to Expect

You'll arrive ready to learn and leave transformed. Each day balances hands-on instruction with contextual teaching: Jill guides you through the history and philosophy of Thai massage, the energetic anatomy of the Sen lines, and the biomechanics that allow you to work sustainably and powerfully. You'll practice full-body techniques on floor mats, learning to use your whole body as an instrument of healing—not just your hands.

The intensive builds progressively, so you develop competency alongside understanding. By the final days, you're integrating what you've learned into flowing sequences. The atmosphere is focused, supportive, and grounded in the wisdom of the tradition itself.

Every participant receives a comprehensive course manual and instructional USB to support your continued learning and teaching.
