Somatic Thai Bodywork 30 hours intensive

Somatic Thai Bodywork Basic course

12-17 April

Somatic Thai Bodywork is a bodywork that focuses on the body intelligence and the connection between psychology and physical body.

STB uses osteopathic principles to recreate the unique Thai massage technique softer and more delicately and more danceable. 

Especially inspired by Osteothai, a fusion work of Thai massage and osteopathy.

Intergrativety guide you into a realm of deep relaxation which is the starting point of healing process while massaging the energy line and meridian, fascial stretching and unwindings, joint movement, rocking movements that work with the water element, and listening deeply to the cells and the state of being. 

This basic course builds a Somatic Thai Bodywork sequence. We will offer guests a 75 minute of full body sessions from feet to head, front and back as a result of the practice on the final day.

STB is not a one-sided thing that entrusts others to others, but rather bodywork that supports the process of mutual responsiveness between the practitioner and the recipient, activating resilience through deep listening. 

The purpose of the course is not just to learn how to give a 75 minute session. What does the body say, and what kind of self-discovery and communication arise between oneself, others, and the nature through the experience and care of direct contact with each other,

This is an introduction to the somatic exploration.

We will emphasis is on what a direct experience of the present moment feels like, rather than on theory or what it should be.

The silent space created by deep listening and reading the air is full of abundance and possiblity.

Being aware of these interactions helps us understand chronic physical discomfort and unexplained pain.

So let the sacred dance begin!!
