Before you press play

No table or oil is needed, just a mat or firm mattress and loose clothing for both of you. Watch how the giver uses body weight rather than arm strength. Go gently, keep talking with your partner, and stop anything that feels uncomfortable. When you're ready for more, try the longer Thai floor massage for the lower back and hips lesson from the same channel, or see the whole sequence in our full Thai massage classroom demonstration.
