ABOUT

Dynamic Thai Massage is perpetual movement poetry created by David Lutt, inspiration of Ajahn Chaiyuth Priyasith‘s(1943-2004 )

Traditional Thai Massage, and an incorporation of some Osteopathic principles and techniques.

The practice of this workshop is about continuous movement which is based on rhythm and rocking while you are giving touch.

At times it seems as if the body is gently swaying in a mother's arms, and at other times the whole body moves as if dancing intensively.

It helps restore joints mobility by understanding and working with the skeletal system and fascial structure. And the continuous rocking is just so pleasant to receive!!

You may experience the water and cells in your body bubbling, unclogging, and your nervous system completely relaxed.

The workshop builds a Dynamic Thai Massage sequence as a basic understandings. We will exchange a 75 minute of improvisational full body sessions from feet to head, front and back as a result of the practice on the final day.

The teaching is unconventional and freely respects the individuality of the participants. Considering each body type and issue, we approach from various angles and give tools for individual study.

This is an introduction to the somatic exploration and healing journey.

 *Practice is done on a mat on the floor.
