What it's about
This five-day course with Krishnataki covers the therapeutic application of Thai yoga massage in treating chronic and acute pain. It starts from the idea that rhythm is a fundamental principle of life: the cyclical change between rest and movement, Yin and Yang, generates forces, and disregarding our inner rhythms leads towards disease.
Participants learn targeted Thai yoga massage treatments for a wide range of pain patterns and complaints. They locate the relevant acupressure points for specific conditions and apply them therapeutically, based on their physiological effects, for back, head, neck, shoulder and knee pain, digestive problems, menstrual discomfort, respiratory issues and cardiovascular complaints. The course also covers pain physiology and the interplay of the autonomic and central nervous systems, recognising and responding to overreactions of the autonomic nervous system, and taking a structured case history so that each client is treated individually.
It is a 35-hour elective module at Spirit Yoga Academy. It takes place on 18–22 November 2026 at Spirit Yoga Studio Charlottenburg, Goethestraße 2-3, Berlin, daily from 09:00 to 17:00 including a 1.5-hour lunch break. Teaching is in English. The fee is €680.
