What it's about
Dynamic Thai Massage, subtitled "the poetry of perpetual movement", is the fourth course of the Lulyani school's Thai massage training, initiated by David Lutt. Inspired by the traditional Thai massage of Ajahn Chaiyuth Priyasith and by osteopathic principles and techniques, it explores the water element of the body, fluidity and creativity.
The course is based on rhythmic rocking and oscillating movements of the body, some taken directly from Thai massage and others from osteopathy (harmonic and oscillatory techniques), to restore lost rhythm. For the giver it aims to improve fluidity, precision and transitions and to develop touch on mechanical, fluid and energetic levels. For the receiver it aims to restore mobility to the musculoskeletal system, increase the circulation of blood and lymph, re-establish energy flow and relax the nervous system.
It is open to Thai massage practitioners with at least a 10 to 12-day basic course, wherever they trained, and a regular practice. It is taught by David Lutt from 13 to 18 August 2027 at the Maison d'Amis in Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes near Orange. The course is residential: it starts at 18:00 on the first day and ends between 14:00 and 15:00 on the last, with teaching from 09:30 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:30 in between, in French and/or English. Tuition is €650 (€350 for a repeat). Accommodation and organic vegetarian meals are extra.
