Getting the students to learn how to give a massage and help them relax before exams season makes it too stressful for them π
We contacted the Estonian Massage and Therapy School in Tallinn. Students from the school arrange a Thai Massage workshop for us. The maximum number of attendees could be 35. The school booked a classroom for all of us. Students started to gather at the given time. The instructor had numbers marked on a sheet of paper and students picked them up in random. The numbers determined who would be paired with who (unless the students themselves came to the event with their partners). At first the instructors showed the attendees how to give a massage, what things to keep in mind to ensure it doesnβt get painful or cause injury. Afterwards the attendees practiced on each other. The instructors were walking around the class at this time, correcting people if they were doing anything wrong and offering advice on how to do it better.
The students really enjoyed the event. The instructors were very friendly and very good at explaining the tasks. The massage itself is always a super relaxing activity that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. πββοΈπββοΈ
