Sussex Thai Massage School Celebrates Tenth Anniversary Of Introductory & Accredited Practitioner Diploma Courses

Traditional Thai Massage is often referred to as Thai Massage, Thai Bodywork, Thai Yoga Massage or applied yoga for lazy people.

A Thai Massage session has more ingredients than a yoga workout.

This clothed bodywork has a blend and fusion of exquisite Asian techniques including thumb pressure similar to Chinese acupressure which works along energy lines similar to meridians or nadis.

Thai massage reflects the four divine states of mind of Buddhist teaching.

A lovely description of Thai Massage is "the physical application of loving kindness."

Buddhist monks traditionally performed Thai Massage in temples as a means of invigorating the mind, body and spirit.

Christine Townley is the founder and director of the Sussex Thai Massage School, in Brighton.

Trained to Advanced and Teacher Training level she is one of the first to introduce Thai Massage to the UK in 1992.

With over 15 years experience as a practitioner and also a qualified teacher she has taught professionally to Practitioner level for over 10 years.

Also qualified in Holistic Massage, Anatomy Physiology and Reflexology but her real passion lies with Thai Massage.

The style of teaching is relaxed with a sensitive approach to students learning.

Grotty Camden. Grotty Thursday morning. Graham Coxon sidles out of the cafe, lights up a cigarette and surveys the bit of London that - by default, he insists - has become his 'patch' for the best part of 20 years. "I don't like places," he says. An awkward smile lets you in on the fact that he knows that what he has said sounds a little absurd. "I tried Kent for a year, while my house was being done up, but it wasn't any better. So, there it is."
Back in the café, Graham huddles around his coffee and runs a hand through his tousled hair. Guitarists are supposed to be show-offs by nature. If he were so inc... more >>
