Thai Massage for Couples

February 12, 2026  |   4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

 While the timing lines up with Valentine’s Day, this class is about education, wellness, and connection — learning practical, therapeutic touch you can safely use at home to help each other feel better.

 

What is Thai massage?
Thai massage is a fully clothed bodywork practice performed on a mat (not a massage table). It uses gentle to firm pressure to muscles (similar to shiatsu or trigger point work) combined with assisted stretching and movement.

 

It’s often called “the lazy person’s yoga” — because one partner helps move and stretch the other’s body in a supported, comfortable way.

 

In this hands-on, guided class you’ll learn:
• Safe Thai massage techniques you can actually use at home
• How to use breath, leverage, and body mechanics (not strength)
• Ways to reduce tension, stiffness, and everyday aches
• How to give touch that feels supportive rather than exhausting

 

No massage experience needed. No flexibility required. All bodies and couples welcome.

$175 per couple
Limited to 3–6 couples

Optional sauna & cold plunge after class — $25 per person

To reserve: Text or call 802-752-7990 with your name and email. You’ll receive a Square invoice to place a deposit and hold your spots.

Come learn something meaningful together.
