What it's about
The Sacred Dance is Thai Yoga Art's foundation course in Nuad Thai Yoga, described as the fundament and core of Nuad. Over four weekends in Leipzig, participants learn the art of mindful touch and the basics of Thai massage, with space for spiritual self-experience within a practising community and with Metta, loving-kindness, as the essence of Nuad.
The course moves from head to toe, day by day, with daily demonstrations, theory and practice, teaching basic Nuad techniques and a full-body treatment. Topics include palming, thumbing and working with the feet, stretches, energy lines, the four positions (supine, prone, side and sitting), principles of body posture for mat work, the influence of Buddhist and yogic philosophy, meditation in motion and first dynamic elements. The exact programme is given on registration.
The course is open to complete beginners, returning students, advanced practitioners and bodyworkers from other therapies. The four blocks take place on 2–4 and 9–11 October and 13–15 and 20–22 November 2026 at Be Light Yoga Studio, Nikolaistr. 33-37, Leipzig. Teaching is in German, with English translation possible.
