Thai Massage explorations: Osteothai and Wuo Tai with Oliver Chamorro and Sonia Peltzer
In this two-day workshop, we will explore some of our favorite evolutions of Thai massage.
Day 1 will explore the way osteopathy can inspire your Thai massage practice -An introduction to Osteothai-
Day 2 will take you to the sacred dance of Wuo Tai.
Thai Massage is a bodywork with an ancient spiritual tradition that combines meditation, yoga, and the practice of loving-kindness. One of the characteristics of this art is that you use not just your hands to give the massage but the whole body in a co-created dance of mindful touch and presence.
Osteo-Thai brings us more precision, more focus, and more intention. Osteopathy is based on a crystal clear vision of Anatomy, Physiology, and body mechanics and aims to bring back vitality and mobility in the areas where it is most needed. Through our ability to listen and touch our patients with softness and precision, tapping into our unlimited curiosity, we can help restore balance and create a platform where healing can unfold.
Wuo Tai addresses our fascinating connective tissues in a playful new way of sensing and exploring. Using rhythm and rolling techniques these anatomical entities allow us to listen to their insightful tales about… US.
Join us for two days of Thai massage playtime to learn new tricks and new lenses that will bring more depth into your practice. Foundational Thai massage experience recommended. Let us know if you have any questions.
