Asokananda was a German man, who, in the 1990’s, designed retreats in Thai Massage with an emphasis on meditation, yoga and pali chanting to accompany the traditional teaching of the ancient art of Thai massage.  He offered these retreats in a hill tribe village in the north of Thailand, the Lahu village, and it is there that both Krishnatakis and Kerys fell in love with this practice and way of life. This retreat format is a transformative and life-changing experience and we keep this structure in our retreats. Watch a video of the Lahu village.

We use both static techniques and dynamic movements in our Thai massage style. We address the energy lines and also combine it with an osteopathic view of the global body. We integrate the basics of cranio-sacral biodynamics and look at the different qualities of touch, notably air touch, fire touch, water touch and earth touch. We focus on deep listening and on building a toolkit to be able to feel and respond to individual needs, instead of simply ‘doing’ a copy-paste generic massage.
