TYM BEGINNER´S COURSE (7 days)
This beginner's course on "Traditional Thai-Yoga-Massage" is a 7-day retreat, including Vipassana Meditation and Yoga, on the beautiful island of Koh Chang/Ranong in Thailand. The course is certified by Sunshine Network, Thailand.
The material is based on Asokananda's teachings, which means our focus will be mainly on static positions, and you will learn various techniques. The foundation of the course is the book "The Art of Traditional Thai Massage" written by Asokananda, but you will receive our own manual.
Thai-Yoga-Massage goes beyond mere techniques; it is also a spiritual practice. Therefore, we will also teach Vipassana Meditation, Yoga, and Qi Gong. Each morning will begin with Meditation and Yoga sessions. Ralph from OmTao will lead Qi Gong classes on two evenings.
This course is designed for total beginners, with a focus on how to use your body weight effectively, proper client touch, and fundamental techniques. By the end of this course, you will be able to perform treatments in various positions (back, prone, side, and sitting positions), with the main techniques involving the use of palms, thumbs, and simple stretches.
We will spend 7 days together on this beautiful natural island, where we will learn a lot, but also have the opportunity to enjoy the beach, the sea, and the amazing sunsets ;-)
