Thai yoga massage workshop: set your inner winter free

Over dit evenement

DISEASE appears when we are NOT AT EASE. When we are out of harmony with the universal flow. Tune in again with your inner nature & with upcoming winter ❄️

Thai yoga massage is a deep healing practice, meditation in motion, and sacred dance.

Since ancient times, Thai massage was considered to be a spiritual practice, closely connected with the teachings of Buddha. It is based on the concept of energy (sen) lines, rooted mainly in yoga philosophy and Chinese medicine, learning the principles of presence, attention, and intention. And most importantly: sharing METTA - loving kindness and compassion. All in a meditative state.

Thai yoga massage is much more than just a massage. It introduces dynamic rocking techniques, full body stretches, deep pressure along energy lines, respects the body rather than going against it, encourages general relaxation and ease, helping the body activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest state).

Thai massage is practiced on the floor (futon), with clothes and no oil.

ABOUT NICA
Nica has a master's degree in psychology, more than a decade of experience in teaching yoga, and has been practicing Thai yoga massage for more than 6 years, inspired by authentic practices from the tribe in Lahu village, Thailand. She studied and gave treatments in several countries around Europe, India, Thailand and Philippines. Sharing holistic transformative bodywork is her biggest passion: "I see the body as a mirror to our inner world, sharing with us what's going on... The body already knows what the mind tries to figure out. Besides deep relaxation and sometimes emotional release, receivers often feel seen, held, and safe; which I find the main component of deep inner healing.'
