Isis, Wari & Pau share same parents, Jordi & Dolors, and same mission, Omshanti Yoga. Wari was the first to jump in the spiritual path and short after Isis & Pau followed his steps. Yoga has been their major discovery and Soma (www.witryh.org) their greatest teacher. The Omshanti project got started 5 years back and has only been growing since then. Since 2007, AcroYoga is a big part of the scene at Omshanti and all three brothers, Isis, Wari & Pau, have become certified AcroYoga teachers. Yoga is the foundation, Thai Massage is the connection with others and Acrobatics is the playful spice to this perfect blend.

Xmas Thai Yoga Massage Beginners

18th - 28th December 2011......Winter is the end of all seasons. Unification with thiselement means allowing the yin principle to manifest - becoming more receptive and introspective. Cold and darkness drive us to seek inner warmth. It is a time to rest, meditate deeply, refine spiritual essence and store physical energy. This is what we will try to share during our Christmas course, using Thai Massage as a vehicle for this journey of self discovery. Christmas is also a time of boundless consumerism and so to bring awareness to the simple things in life, is the biggest gift we can offer to ourselves and to others.

Our TEACHING is inspired by the Dhamma and instruction of two Thai massage masters Chayuth and Pichet of Northern Thailand, as well as the teachings of Asokananda and the beautiful combination of YOGA, THAI MASSAGE, VIPASSANA and METTA. True Thai massage cannot exist without this melting pot of healing ingredients.

Our main focus on this course is to HEAL OURSELVES on the path to helping others heal. We call on a variety of techniques (Yogic, Taoist, Sufi) to help connect to our deeper, higher selves in order to ignite the spiritual healing flame. We also focus on the nutritional aspect of food, which can be the simplest of ways to nutrure us on a daily basis.

The course offers a PRACTICAL TRAINING on the Art of Traditional Thai Yoga Massage. We travel, day by day, from the feet to the head with daily demonstrations, theory and practice time. We provide our own instruction manual and CD of chantings from Asokananda “Meditations in Babylon”. Our courses usually have many assistants, both Greek and from other countries, who bring colours and diversity to the practice, some of whom are fellow teachers of the Sunshine Network.

Upon completion of the course a certificate of attendance from the International Society of Thai Yoga Massage (Sunshine Network) is awarded.

The course is open for complete beginners, repeaters and advanced students, as well as bodyworkers of other therapies.

We usually recommend that the students new to Thai Yoga Massage practice on as many people as possible (average around 50) – close friends and family before making it a means to earn a living. Although the true, traditional practice of Thai massage was always donation based. With practice, experience and heightened sensitivity the massage goes deeper and awareness of different bodies helps us develop our intuitive touch.
