We started our classes today at The Fine Art of Thai Massage. The school is located in a narrow 5 story building in the heart of the old city. Mos, our instructor, is a 30 yr. old Thai man who has been in and around Thai massage his entire life. He and his brother Mac learned early on from his parents who were also both Thai massage instructors. There are only four students in the class so there is a lot of personal attention. The two other students, Ainoa, a young lady from Spain, and Georges, a young man from Greece, are both in their third week and just practicing this week so Mos has more time to focus on us. Thai massage is not necessarily relaxing, and there are a lot of positions that use pressure points, bending, pushing, pulling and twisting, and they can be uncomfortable. After the first day we are still excited about the class but a little uncertain about all the positions to learn. It looks like it will be a lot of work but we are excited and ready for the challenge.
