At Om Yoga, 6 mile Nelson BC, 3067 Heddle Road

This is an exceptional class retreat, offered only once a year.

I pour my heart and soul into this class.

We start the day with a heart-centered sharing circle, a meditation practice & Qi Gong.

Then, we dive deep into learning the art of ancient Thai Massage and the medicine surrounding it.

” I attended Francie’s Thai Massage Women’s Retreat in spring 2021….and Oh my, what a delight! It exceeded all my expectations. My overall impression of the experience was that each person in attendance walked away with more joy and trust in their heart.

Francie has a beautiful way of including the woman’s companionship, meaningful practical knowledge, laughter, and magic to make one of a kind experience. Would highly recommend it!”

In this course, you will learn the classic routine of Northern style (Nuad-Bo-Rarn). Nuad means “to touch with the intention of imparting healing” and Bo-Rarn is a Sanskrit word meaning “something that is ancient and revered”. These eleven days of training is a very good place to start and get a strong foundation in Thai Massage. This classic style derives from Shivago Kormapaj lineage taught at the Old Chiang Mai hospital in Thailand.

In Foundation 1, you will learn the supine position. Then, sideline, prone and seated positions in Foundation 2. You need both foundation courses in order to perform a full body massage and in order to get a certificate.

As mindfulness and self-care are the most essential attribute of an exceptional Thai Massage practitioner, each day starts with one hour of QiGong and meditation.

This course is mostly hands-on. There are three to four times more techniques than needed to create a 90-minute session giving you

creative alternatives to customize your session. Francine, your instructor, emphasizes the practitioner’s body alignment while performing the techniques to ensure that students are receiving the maximum benefit to their own bodies.
