Vedic Thai FUTON Bodywork — An Ayurvedic Approach to Conscious Touch with Mukti Michael Buck 285 SOUTH MAIN STREET, PROVIDENCE RI This three-day FUTON intensive offers a holistic and classical approach to Vedic Thai Bodywork, integrating Ayurvedic wisdom, Marma Therapy, and meridian-based adjustment into a grounded, floor-based practice. Working on a futon allows the practitioner to stay close to the earth, using gravity, breath, and alignment rather than muscular effort. Under Mukti’s guidance, students learn how Thai bodywork functions as a therapeutic dialogue between structure, energy, and consciousness. The training explores: • Ayurvedic principles applied to bodywork sessions • working with Marma points to support vitality, circulation, and nervous system balance • meridian and energy line adjustment through stretching, compression, and rhythm • sustainable body mechanics that protect the practitioner • breath-led pacing and intuitive sequencing • cultivating sensitivity and presence through conscious touch Rather than following fixed routines, this training emphasizes principle-based practice — teaching how to assess, respond, and adapt based on the individual body, constitution, and energetic state of the receiver. This course is well suited for: • licensed massage therapists • Thai bodywork and floor-based practitioners • yoga teachers and movement professionals • practitioners interested in Ayurvedic and energy-informed bodywork ✨ Continuing Education: This training provides 21 CE credits, applicable for licensed massage therapists (where accepted by state boards). Participants leave with practical futon-based techniques, a deeper understanding of Marma and meridian work, and a refined approach to bodywork as a therapeutic art rooted in presence, balance, and tradition.
