What it's about
This 8-day Advanced Open Class runs alongside the organiser's New Year's Beginners Retreat and is designed for experienced Thai massage practitioners and therapists. Throughout the week Bojan Babic, Krishnataki, Zoltan Gyorgyovics, Jinjur van Vogelpoel and Johannes Vogt teach together, each with their own style and areas of expertise.
The sessions cover advanced techniques, therapeutic sequences and different approaches to treatment. The focus is on refining touch, palpation, body mechanics and clinical reasoning, and on creating individual treatments. Questions from practice are addressed and new methods introduced, with hands-on practice and individual feedback. The group also experiences the Rauhnächte, the sacred nights around the turn of the year, and celebrates New Year's Eve together.
The class is open to everyone who has completed a 9-day Thai Massage Beginners Course. It takes place at Seminarhaus Kilchzimmersattel, Kilchzimmer 149, 4438 Langenbruck (Basel-Landschaft), in the hills of the Jura, parallel to the beginners retreat from Sunday 27 December 2026 (10:30) to Sunday 3 January 2027 (14:00). The fee is CHF 1,750 all-inclusive, covering tuition, course manual, DVD, vegan meals and accommodation. The organiser lists last places available.
