What it's about
This four-day training with Krishnataki at Studio Yolaya in Freiburg im Breisgau teaches Thai massage given with the feet. Working with the feet is a useful tool for massage therapists: it lets the arms and wrists rest and helps when treating heavier people with a strong constitution.
The course also addresses the practitioners' own balance, steadiness and centring, building a strong connection to the earth and a sense of being grounded, nurtured and supported. Using the feet in this way opens the meridians of the foot and carries this sensitivity into everyday walking, standing and moving.
Participants learn to use the feet in static and dynamic ways in prone, supine and side positions, and also how to work with the knees and forearms. Each day includes healing, therapeutic Qi Gong to deepen the connection to the earth and stimulate the earth channel in the body.
