The Art of Thai Yoga Massage: A Journey into Lanna Healing

Workshop Overview

Discover the "Sacred Dance" of Thai Yoga Massage. This immersive workshop introduces participants to the ancient healing traditions of Northern Thailand (Lanna). Often described as "Lazy Man’s Yoga," Thai Yoga Massage is a unique moving meditation that combines rhythmic acupressure, deep assisted stretching, and mindful breathwork.

Led by Kru Gab and the team from The Thai Yoga Massage School, this session moves beyond simple relaxation. We focus on the flow of Sen (energy) lines and the cultivation of Metta—loving-kindness—through conscious touch.
