The Virtue of Repeating the Beginners Class

About Levels in Thai Massage Courses

You may have noticed that Sunshine does not offer courses organised in levels ... Level 1, Level 2, level 3, ... Why? 

We simply care about the foundation of your practice.

We bet that when you personally need a massage, you will be more likely to trust a “level 1” practitioner who gives massage regularly than a newly qualified “level 3” therapist proudly displaying a piece of paper.

"Levels” truly mean very little. In reality, they have been created to make it easier to sell a course. Not to help you build a mindful practice.


A more useful way to deepen your practice

Simply repeat the beginner’s course. Sunshine offers the possibility to repeat the same course with the same or a different teacher, but especially to gain the perspective of a different set of eyes and hands. It is a great opportunity to review all the “basics" with the benefit of a bit more experience. 


The beginner’s course, with a renewed point of view, 

becomes an even richer experience.


The following is what Asokananda said on this topic

" ... I do not believe in splitting up learning into levels … we integrate advanced studies for experienced students alongside our beginner’s classes. This guarantees that students repeat the basics again and again, which is important to gain a deeper understanding but at the same time we give individual teachings on whatever aspect of Thai massage our students would like to explore more. This is not formalized, so our advanced students come up with their questions, often practical questions that have been arising throughout the year and ask us for teachings they find helpful for their practice..."
