What it's about
This residential retreat course at Sunshine House in Evia teaches the basic technique of traditional Thai yoga massage with Krishnataki. It presents true Thai massage as a melting pot of metta (loving-kindness), vipassana (insight meditation), massage and yoga, and as learning to give from the heart with compassion rather than memorising a series of exercises. It is inspired by Chayuth, Pichet and Asokananda.
There are seven hours of theory, demonstration and practice each day, together with yoga, chi gong and meditation. The programme moves from an introduction, feet and energy lines through single and double leg work, stomach, chest, arms and hands, side position and back, to the sitting position with shoulders, neck and head, the face, an evaluation day and therapy with herbal compresses. Assistants from the Sunshine Network support the teaching.
The course is open to complete beginners, repeaters, advanced students and bodyworkers of other therapies. It runs from 13 to 23 May 2027 at Sunshine House, Agios Nikolaos, Evia, Greece, starting at 18:00 on the first day and ending at 14:00 on the last. Participants receive a certificate of attendance from the International Society of Thai Yoga Massage (Sunshine Network).
