What it's about
The Art of Touch is the first module of Almuth Kramer's Thai Yoga Bodywork basic training and can be booked on its own as a three-day introduction. Thai Yoga Bodywork blends static and dynamic Thai yoga massage with osteopathic tools, presence and focused intention. The intention of touch is Metta, loving kindness.
Participants learn massage techniques for the whole body from head to toe in supine, prone and seated positions, practised on a floor mat, fully clothed and without oil. The module covers qualities of touch, perfect fit and the giver's comfort, the principles of intention, posture, mindfulness and flow, communication with the client, and the history, philosophy and energy lines of the practice. Yoga, meditation, self-massage, journaling and play support personal development.
The course is open level and suits beginners, repeaters, practitioners of other bodywork and yoga teachers. It takes place on 4–6 December 2026 at the Aikido Dojo, Hasenheide 9, 10967 Berlin, taught by Almuth Kramer and Brooklyn Reardon in English, with German translation on request. The first day runs from 09:00 to 17:00; later days begin with yoga and meditation at 08:00. The fee, including manual and video material, is €540, or €450 early bird until 2 November.
