What it's about
Traditional Thai medicine links movement to Lom, the wind. When the winds flow freely the body is healthy, and when they stagnate, pain and tension arise. Osteopathy makes a similar point: its founder Andrew Taylor Still wrote that "the rule of the artery is supreme". This two-day workshop brings both perspectives together.
Alongside palm pressing, stretches and mobilisations, the focus is on circulation and the movement of fluids. This includes the traditional "blood stops", with their physiology, contraindications and safe use. Through mindful touch, gentle movement and stillness, participants also explore the subtler winds of the nervous system and how touch affects relaxation and regulation. Demonstrations, hands-on practice and anatomical insights help weave these layers into one flowing, individual treatment.
The workshop is for people with prior experience in Thai massage or other bodywork. Experience on a floor mat is helpful. It takes place on 13–14 March 2027 at the HeileHaus in Berlin, daily from 09:00 to 16:30, in German and/or English. The fee is €195, with a €50 deposit, and the balance can be paid in cash on the first day.
