Get Ready for Class!

General Recommendation for MOST Classes: Prepare for class as if you were going to an out-call massage. 

• Massage table*: Bring a portable massage table if you have one. (It’s hard to practice massage without a massage table.)
• Linens: For each day of class, you will need a set of sheets and a face cradle cover.
• Lubricant: Bring a small container of lubricant of your choice for use in class.
• Comfortable clothing: Wear comfortable clothes as you’ll be giving and receiving massages. Meeting rooms may sometimes be cold so please bring a sweater or jacket.
• Textbook review: You may want to consider reviewing anatomy and physiology textbooks if applicable.
• Class materials: You’ll receive digital access to class materials about a week to ten days before your class. You can download or print them. Please review your manual prior to class. Bring a notebook and pen for notes.
• Technology: We recommend having a device like a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet access during class for optimal participation. If you don’t have one, it is not a problem. Many classes are multi-media.
• Essentials: Bring water, snacks, and money for lunch, parking, and other expenses.
• Purchases: Some instructors may offer products for sale, so bring cash or a credit card if interested. Please contact your instructor about any items you may have purchased directly from them.

NOTE: Each class or instructor may have different supplies requested.

*If you are enrolled in the Traditional Thai Massage or Fundamentals of Thai Massage class instead of a massage table, please bring an exercise mat or a comforter.

*If you are enrolled in a class that is lecture only, it is not necessary to bring a massage table or sheets to class.

*For Massage Education Vacation Events where most students travel to attend, we make different arrangements for massage tables. Please check the details on the webpage for the event you are attending.
