What it's about
The Sacred Dance is Thai Yoga Art's fundamental training in Nuad, Thai yoga massage. It explores the art of touch in harmony with the breath: touching with intention and dropping into a state of moving meditation, guided by Metta (loving-kindness), Karuna (compassion), Mudita (joy) and Upekkha (equanimity).
Participants develop the sensitivity to tune into the receiver's needs without wanting to achieve anything. Besides the basic principles of Thai massage and bodywork, the course covers acupressure on the energy lines, palming, thumbing and working with the feet, a variety of stretches, the four positions (supine, prone, side and sitting), principles of body posture for mat work, the influence of Buddhist and yogic philosophy, meditation in motion and first dynamic elements.
The course suits people new to Thai Yoga Art and those who want to refresh their knowledge and skills. It has two blocks, 16–21 April and 13–18 May 2027, at Sunshine Raum, Dreifaltigkeitstrasse 84, Eisenstadt. Teaching is in German, with English translation possible. The exact programme is given on registration, and the early-bird rate applies until 1 December 2026. Registration is by email via sunrisers.at.
