About the program
Guided Paida Lajin is an online program that teaches the self-practice behind our in-person Paida-Lajin Therapy. You learn how to pat with a relaxed, open palm, how to adjust intensity, and how to hold simple supported stretches using items you have at home — a wall, a chair, a bed edge or, if you have one, a Lajin Bench.
The program is facilitated by our therapist, trained in Paida Lajin, with one guiding principle: never force, always listen to your body.
What the program covers
- The basics of Paida: rhythm, pressure, and the commonly patted areas — shoulders, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
- The basics of Lajin: safe, supported stretches for the legs, back and shoulders, with options for different flexibility levels.
- How to start light, increase gradually and recognise when to stop.
- Seated variations for seniors and anyone who finds floor work difficult.
- Short routines for busy days: a 10-minute desk-break sequence and a longer weekend practice.
- After-care: rest, warmth and hydration after practice.
Who it is for
Desk-job professionals who want an active, energising break from sitting; students who need a simple routine to refresh the body between study blocks; and seniors (55+) who prefer seated, gentle versions with careful guidance on intensity.
How it works
- Enquire via WhatsApp, phone or the enquiry form to receive batch dates, timings and fees.
- Health intake. Because patting is not suitable for everyone, we ask about medications, skin sensitivity and medical conditions before you begin.
- Live online sessions with demonstrations, practice time and questions.
- Home practice sheet so you can continue confidently between sessions.
Who should check with a doctor first
- People taking blood thinners or with bleeding or clotting disorders.
- Pregnant women, and anyone who has recently had surgery.
- People with diabetes and reduced sensation, fragile skin, severe osteoporosis, heart conditions or uncontrolled blood pressure.
Temporary skin redness can occur after patting; this is one reason we always begin lightly. Guided Paida Lajin is wellness education, not medical treatment.
