In more detail
Thai Massage has its roots in India as a healing technique and for 2,500 years has been proving its healing properties in the traditional way or by allowing it to be combined with modern western techniques. Thai Massage is being practiced on a special mat on the floor allowing the body’s connection with the earth. It is based on gentle pressures and stretches, relaxing rhythmic movements and spiral positions that help orthosomy and overall tissue movement.
The Spiti Yoga training introduces three branches of traditional Thai Massage through a structure based on play and curiosity about motion. Basic tools of Thai massage are taught, with each teacher bringing their own influences (osteopathy, stretching, dance, etc.) to each lesson. The same emphasis is placed on Sen energy lines that run throughout the body and
are responsible for the proper energy flow. Also, focus is given on basic anatomy knowledge, on information about the Fascia, on exercises to release the spine through breathing, as well as on the need to practice consciously. The need of basic Anatomy and Pathology knowledge gives the therapist supplies to meet the maximum needs of a patient. Finally, different meditation techniques, proper use of the body during therapy as well as ways of deep concentration and connection of breathing with movement are an important part of the training. No knowledge of Thai or any other kind of massage is required. The training is aimed at beginners.
During the training we will focus on a therapy’s key positions; we will lay
the foundations of Anatomy for the coming weekends; and we will talk about the indications and contraindications of the covered techniques. Most importantly, we will practice those techniques by setting a flow treatment following the traditional pattern and leaving room for variations made consciously by the therapist. During the training, all positions of Thai Massage and techniques for the whole body will be covered. In addition, we will focus on how we intellectually and invasively approach the pathology of the most common cases that we may encounter in our evolutionary healing path. We will focus on how we can precisely help someone suffering from specific conditions. We will also highlight when, why and how to use the techniques learned in the previous
stages. Finally, we will see how each ailment of those we will examine is interconnected with the deepest layers of human existence: How musculoskeletal dysfunctions mentally and emotionally affect human existence and how the same happens with the etheric essence affecting the musculoskeletal system.

Autumn is slowly leaving and Winter is coming. It is the season to gather in the coziness and warmth of the house, of the family, of the heart. The season for calmness and contemplation.
Winter is our grandfathers’ fires and their stories, our grandmothers’ food and their tales, our gifts and bonds. In Winter we light the fire for everyone to be well, safe and full, in warmth and love.
We gather for a three-hour meeting to pray, to communicate and give thanks to those who came before us and brought us into this world. Using breathing techniques that can change the state of mind, as well as traditional guided visualizations, we will meet with our lineage, get in touch with our ancestors, ask for their gifts and leave our given burdens behind. We will talk to them, ask for their advice, their guidance and their support. We will learn how to open a communication channel with them in our daily lives.

What is this workshop about?
In a nutshell: A class/ Thai massage therapy for people without previous experience.
In more words: A first exploration in the field of healing through (mainly) the body, for which no one needs to have previous experience, specialized knowledge or impeccable talent. They can simply try, offer and receive a simple but comprehensive treatment.
We start with some hands-on theory and fundamentals to familiarize ourselves with the contact and movement of our body in relation to the other body next to us, to warm up and break the ice. Then we form the final pairs we’ll work with. The instructor stands in the center offering treatment and giving instructions and corrections so that at the same time students offer the same treatment to their partner. The pairs then switch roles.
Thai massage is deeply therapeutic and can be very enjoyable for the recipient. However, it is just as therapeutic and enjoyable (albeit exhausting) for the person offering it.
