Over dit evenement
In this workshop we will take a peek into the universe of loving touch and Thai massage - a practice where by connecting to unconditional love we can nourish another body from our hearts, through presence, prayer and this beautiful cosmic dance. We will spend the evening in a beautiful urban sanctuary, nourishing each other through this ancient healing practice.
Thai Massage combines flowing sequences and focused acupressure techniques to create a unique healing therapy. This form of bodywork uses sequences of soft tissue pressing, stretching and movement to strengthen joints, improve flexibility and maintain posture. Sustained acupressure with palms, thumbs, elbows and feet is used to help remove blockages and free the tension inside knotted muscles. Thai massage is incredible because we use our body weight to effortlessly sink into another body rather that exhausting and straining ourselves.
In this workshop you will discover effortless ways to release tension of friends, partners, your parents and whoever else! We will be practicing in pairs, so expect to give and receive throughout - one of the best parts of massage workshops(: You are welcome to invite a partner to practice with, but it is not necessary. No prior experience is required, this is open to lovers of touch, those who wish to deepen their ability to touch mindfully, doulas and other caregivers, manual therapists, and anyone curious!
