DYNAMIC THAI MASSAGE: 

Dynamic work in the thai tradition is a very intuitive, almost shamanic way of working. It is a process that needs a lot of sensitivity and intuition, as the therapist slowly tunes into the 5 „koshas” (or yogic “layers / bodies”) of the patient, opening blockages on the physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. It is a form that allows the therapist to work with beautiful movement, effortlessly and playfully. It facilitates the opening of blocked areas with rhythmic rocking and oscillatory technigues. It helps the release of tension and helps bringing back mobility where it is missing.
According to the history and evolution of Thai Massage, Chaiyuth Priyasith, who lived and worked in Chiang Mai was the master of dynamic techniques.
He was one of Asokananda’s two main teachers, and also taught many of my teachers. Unfortunately, I missed seeing this master alive, as he died in 2004, but luckily he has inspired some of my teachers, and they managed to create a new form, one which is easily understandable for western people. This form is known as “Dynamic Thai Massage”.

During this workshop, we focus on our movement, touch and concentration both in movement and stillness. We learn dynamic techniques from "toes to noes". We learn when to use these techniques, and when to use static techniques to gain the best benefit in our practice.
At the end of the workshop you will have a big variety of new techniques!

COURSE PREREQUISITES

The workshops are totally open to participants of all backgrounds.
If you are new to Thai Massage or bodywork in general, this workshop will give you the basic foundations of Thai Massage - with some additional flavors from the osteopathic and biodynamic traditions.
For those having already some experience in this or any other kind of bodywork, there will be space to refine techniques individually, sharing experiences and further discussions so we can make our treatments more efficient according to the need of your patients.
A strong emphasis will be given to working with good posture, in a relaxed manner, with the application of vipassana and metta meditation.
There will be a focus on the quality of touch, as all healing happens as a result of the mental state, mental contents, concentration and emotional state of the giver.
So instead of a course with a fixed curriculum, you should imagine a course where everybody receives material according to their level of practice.
