Touching the Heart: ThaiYoga-Massage meets Osteopathy

“Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart. Only from the heart can you touch the sky.“

(Rumi)

The heart is an incredible organ of our body. It is acting either as the great dynamo of our individual electromagnetic field or as a distributor of blood within the human body. It can be seen as the fulcrum / the center point of somatic functions. It is connected with our emotions, vulnerability and traumatic experiences. And it is intertwined with the motivating force of self-development and courage.

We invite you to this seminar to discover all these qualities of the heart and to unwind the heart as the important connection between the physical, mental and emotional state of the human being.   

In those 5 day training practices from ThaiYoga-Massage and the osteopathic field will meet and guide as in this journey of exploring the structures of the heart.

We learn how we can properly prepare the area of the heart as well as the rest of the body in order to achieve the absolute liberation of the heart organ from physical or emotional adhesions. Finally we discover how to integrate the techniques we learn in the flow of a Bodywork-Session.
