Working with the Chakra system - releasing energy patterns
Thai Yoga Massage advanced training (40h)
This training is for practitioners with a reasonable amount of experience and who are ready to dive more deeply into the subtle layers of our Being and learn how to touch and connect with someone's energy. Drawing from the yogic teachings of the Chakras as well as their application in western psychology, we will look at how different patterns manifest in body, mind and soul and how we can create the space for release and healing.
This course offers the opportunity to expand on your knowledge, your repertoire and techniques in order to give a more therapeutically relevant treatment. Aside from learning a variety of techniques such as dynamic moves and how to use your feet, knees and elbows, we will focus on the subtle touch and how to develop your intuition.
Casa do Limoeiro set amongst the rolling hills of Alenquer is the perfect setting offering the ideal environment for study, focus, connection and practice. Join us in rural romantic Portugal for a true immersion into this ancient healing art. This is a retreat and a training course in one ~ perfect to go deep, find more presence, connect with your Self and nature, and expand your repertoire.

Why use the Chakra system as the 'map' in Thai Yoga MassageThai Yoga Massage draws in many aspects from the Yogic philosophy and understanding of our energetic Being. We don't just work on the physical body, but on our Being as a whole, which means we also touch people's emotional and mental, as well as energetic state. Here are just some of the ways this informs our treatments:
