This workshop is dedicated to those who seek to look deeper into the way we communicate through Touch. A sacred dance in between giver and receiver. Thai Yoga Massage, a deep full body treatment and dialogue in motion, is a melting pot of: “metta” – loving kindness, “vipassana” – meditation on insight, massage and yoga. Through its harmonious blend of supported restorative postures that cultivate stillness, yogic stretching using an “invisible” map of energy lines, and mindful touch – this practice creates a safe space enabling your body and mind to unwind, surrender, and compassion to flow. As said by Thich Nhat Hanh, “the father of mindfulness” – the most beautiful gift we can offer others is our presence.
