COURSE DESCRIPTION

We are profoundly joyful to invite you to this 5 day course of Dynamic thai massage with the title the Shamanic touch.
During these 5 days you will be guided through the amazing qualities of the dynamic form of thai massage by Krishnatakis and friends. We will be supported and nourished by the beautiful surroundings in the setting of an old farm, now turned into a community owned land, close to the lush Fanefjord forest and the pristine beaches of the south coast of the island of Møn.
Thai Massage goes beyond the limitations of the mind. Traditionally practiced in Buddhist monasteries, Thai massage is regarded above all as a spiritual practice, a meditation in movement, which is closely connected with the teachings of the Buddha. It is a sacred dance, which can take both the giver and the receiver on a deep spiritual journey and bring balance on emotional, mental and physical levels.
Applying mindful principles at all times during Thai Massage is what creates the magic. The allowing, the unfolding, the melting, the healing – understanding these principles is the key to offering the best massage you can give.
In this course, you will learn about rhythm, coordination, and flow in order to have freedom in your movements and touch. Dynamic Thai massage works with both the element of Fire which is enabling us to shake off and transform stagnation, as well as the element of water which is helping the body to increase vitality, and have more liquid flow. These are the fundamental principles of Taoism, the Yin and Yang.
This work also helps us to break the boundaries of the structural, limited mind and to feel instead of thinking, which allows us to develop our intuitive, shamanic self. We will go deeper into understanding the body’s perpetual motion and natural state of flow and how we can adjust, move and dance with another body, without getting stuck in positions.
This course is open for beginners, repeaters and advanced students, as well as bodyworkers of other therapies.

Be welcomed!
