”Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river” -Lao Tzu
In this 5 days course we will focus on both dynamic and static approaches of Thai Yoga Massage. We will explore different rhythms, qualities, principles and techniques in order to work in a more creative and effective way. Be in a resonance with every receiver without force and violence and find balance between fluid movement and a place of stillness. Understand when and how to adapt the treatment according to client and the situation. We work on compassion, opening our heart and realizing our true self. While doing this, we want to enjoy our self, community and life itself.
This residential course will offer an inclusive and save space to learn and understand the teaching of Thai Yoga Massage in a practical, easy & effective way. We will explore both dynamic and static techniques to find balance between fluid movement and a place of stillness. Engaging in meditative movement, mindful touch, safe stretches and supportive hands on bodywork. We will travel from the feet to the head with daily demonstrations, theory and practice time. During the course we will learn a whole body massage sequence and get many tools to expand our practice.
As the state of mind / the awareness of the practitioner is a key in giving a good Thai Massage the training will be supplemented by daily Vipassana meditation. Daily yoga classes /movement classes will soften our body and prepare us for the work on the floor. In the evenings we will come together to meditate, sing or dance depending on the energy of the day.
The course is open for complete beginners, repeaters and advanced students, as well as body-workers of other styles. As the course is lead by two teachers and is limited to 16 participants, everybody will get the support that they needs.
