GSP - BETTER BODY MECHANICS (1 of 2)
DATE: Feb 10 & 24, 2026
TIME: 9am-1:00pm
NCBTMB & NYS Approved (8 CEs/Two 4-hour classes)
TUITION: $400 (includes 8 Treatment room hours)
DESCRIPTION: In this class, we will explore body mechanics through a biomechanical lens. We will utilize the body’s architecture and biomechanical mechanisms to focus energy and movement to work more efficiently and effectively, to add power, and to reduce stress on the joints and neuro-myofascial systems of the body for a pain-free, long-lasting career in massage therapy.
We will combine Eastern practices in Tai Qi and Western biomedical science to explore and demonstrate a way of working to increase power and reduce stress and strain on joints and muscles of the shoulder girdle and focus on harnessing the power of the pelvis. We use body mechanics to differentiate between power and strength and demonstrate working with multiple body parts like fists, forearms, elbows, and knees to provide alternatives for over-used hands and thumbs.
Pain is one of our greatest teachers. It tells us that something is wrong and suggests the need to explore a new way of working. In addition to exploring sustainable body mechanics, we will demonstrate stretching and strengthening techniques that are fundamental tools for maintaining a healthy body, mind, and spirit for a long healthy career in massage.

4-day In-person Series: Mar 24-Mar 27, 2026 (CATA- NYC)
Registration Link: https://bodhi-work.com/lymphatic-drainage-training-nyc
DESCRIPTION: This 5-week New York–based training offers a comprehensive, thoughtfully paced introduction to Vodder-inspired Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). Designed for massage therapists seeking a clinically grounded, confidence-building approach, this course blends science-informed theory with precise hands-on practice. Created and curated by an LMT for LMTS.
Unlike fast, high-density workshops, this program unfolds gradually. The first four weeks are entirely virtual, with meetings on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6 PM to 9 PM, allowing students to absorb the material layer by layer. This slower, rhythm-based learning structure gives information time to truly integrate, so students aren’t overwhelmed by content. Instead, they have time to embody the work, ask deeper questions, and develop a real understanding of both technique and clinical application.
Instruction includes full-body MLD sequencing as well as basic post-operative considerations, prenatal adaptations, and oncology-informed precautions, preparing practitioners to apply MLD safely and effectively across a variety of client needs.
The course culminates in a 4-day in-person intensive in New York City.

Tuition: $600; $150ea 4hr class
Thai Massage 101 is a four-day, 16-hour course presenting the fundamental theory of traditional Thai massage and protocols for beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.
We also recommend attending a single class for $150 if you want to try out our program because each lesson is a self-contained unit consisting of a unique Theory/History/Thai Culture, “Dojo Talk,” followed by a narrated demo that details and highlights segments of the Thai Massage movements in the lesson plan.
After the demo, students pair up and take turns practicing the lesson while they watch the instructor proceed through the maneuvers again. Not only does this improve retention, but everybody gets a Thai massage from a licensed therapist during the class.
Thai Massage offers students and clients a unique framework for stretching techniques much like an array of yoga postures. It defines a meditative approach to the method synonymous with Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Sen Theory provides a trajectory for the acupressure component.
The course is constructed in four weekly sessions to help students fully assimilate the material by offering time to practice each week between the lessons.
You may purchase single-day tickets for $150, but you will only earn the 16 CEs if you attend all four classes.

MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD): Foundations + Clinical Applications
Mar 24 - 27, 2026/Online (4-day class)
10am -6pm
55 CEs (for full Series)
Tuition: $1,000; $250 Deposit (non-refundable)
4-class Online Series: Feb 23-24, Mar 2-3, Mar 9-10, Mar 16-17
4-day In-person Series: Mar 24-Mar 27, 2026 (CATA- NYC)
Registration Link: https://bodhi-work.com/lymphatic-drainage-training-nyc
DESCRIPTION: This 5-week New York–based training offers a comprehensive, thoughtfully paced introduction to Vodder-inspired Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). Designed for massage therapists seeking a clinically grounded, confidence-building approach, this course blends science-informed theory with precise hands-on practice. Created and curated by an LMT for LMTS.
Unlike fast, high-density workshops, this program unfolds gradually. The first four weeks are entirely virtual, with meetings on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6 PM to 9 PM, allowing students to absorb the material layer by layer. This slower, rhythm-based learning structure gives information time to truly integrate, so students aren’t overwhelmed by content. Instead, they have time to embody the work, ask deeper questions, and develop a real understanding of both technique and clinical application.
Instruction includes full-body MLD sequencing as well as basic post-operative considerations, prenatal adaptations, and oncology-informed precautions, preparing practitioners to apply MLD safely and effectively across a variety of client needs.
The course culminates in a 4-day in-person intensive in New York City.

12 CE hours (NCBTMB/NY Certified)
Prerequisite: Introduction to Oncology Massage or Equivalent

The history of Reflexology
The general benefits of Reflexology with emphasis on stress reduction
The role stress plays in cancer
How Reflexology/Foot Massage reduces stress
The value and benefits of stress reduction in cancer patients through Reflexology
An overview of the reflexes and referral patterns of the feet
Zone Therapy
The goal of this course is to learn foot massage techniques that have a basis in Reflexology and be able to apply those techniques to the various types of cancer a client may have to help reduce stress and relieve pain. Often clients will respond to reflexology with renewed strength and energy and see an improvement in their natural vitality. Reflexology can speed up recovery from major surgery and make the recovery process itself more bearable.
The aim is to provide therapists with new techniques for working on clients when you cannot utilize other massage techniques on the body. These techniques can also be incorporated into any style of bodywork as well.
