Thai Massage Workshop

Gregory Gallant, a practitioner of Nuad Boran (ancient Thai medicine) with over 15 years of experience, will be offering a traditional Thai acupressure class in Ithaca, New York. Having taught in three different countries, Gregory brings a depth of global teaching experience, enriched by his recent travels in Thailand where he continued studying the culture and healing traditions at their source.

A lifelong practitioner of tai chi and yoga, Gregory integrates mindful movement, breath awareness, and body mechanics into his teaching in a similar way of the Thai tradition of balancing between Indian and Chinese influences. This class will introduce students to the foundations of Thai acupressure, including an overview of traditional etiquette such as the wai kru, as well as hands-on exploration of key positions—supine, side-lying, and seated. Participants will learn the basic mechanics and principles that underpin this ancient healing art in a respectful and accessible way
