What it's about
Osteothai Respiration is one of the courses of the Osteothai training of the Lulyani school, which integrates osteopathic principles and techniques into Thai massage. This module is about freeing the breath and its movement of expansion and retraction, which the school describes as a link between the neurological, cardiovascular, visceral, musculoskeletal and psychological systems.
Dynamic and static techniques are used to approach the rib cage, the different diaphragms, the shoulder complex and blocked emotions, with the aim of restoring vitality and mobility to the thorax and its organs, the lungs and the heart. Topics include the lungs and the mediastinum, the diaphragms as horizontal axes, the links between shoulder and neck, and the Primary Respiratory Movement as the basis of the craniosacral system.
Osteothai courses are open to practitioners with a solid Thai massage training, from any school, and a regular practice. The five-day course is taught by David Lutt from 3 to 7 December 2026 in Freiburg, Germany. Lulyani courses are taught in French and/or English as needed. Information and registration are handled by the local organiser, Julia Deka.
