What it's about
This two-day introduction to traditional Thai Yoga Massage with Jinjur van Vogelpoel is meant for beginners who want a first taste of the practice. It is one of the intro workshops of Thai Massage Vacanza, which also offers longer basic courses, residential retreats and a diploma training.
Participants learn the basic principles and techniques for different positions: on the back, prone and side-lying. They learn to use the whole body to touch the receiver and practise specific Thai massage techniques such as mobilisation, stretching and acupressure, combined in a Thai Yoga Massage sequence that treats the whole body from the feet to the head. Staying mindful throughout the massage and taking care of one's own well-being while giving a treatment are part of the teaching.
No prior experience is required. The workshop takes place on Saturday 17 April 2027 from 08:30 to 18:00 and Sunday 18 April 2027 from 08:30 to 17:00 at Raum für Empathie, Lorrainestrasse 32, 3013 Bern. The fee is CHF 300.
