We come into the world with a single breath and in the same way we leave it. To stay alive, all we need is the breath. As babies we know how to breathe but as we grow, parental and societal conditioning alter the quality of how we breathe. So many people in modern life suffer respiratory dysfunction.

But we are HOW we breathe

The way we breathe signals to the body what to expect:
when we shallow, rapid breathe, we remain in fight or flight, adrenal mode, which is toxic to the body; breathe fast, die young!
Deep, relaxed breathing activates the parasympathetic system, our body relaxes knowing it is safe to repair, rest and digest.

ThIs course is open to all, but you will benefit most if you have already some bodywork experience. Ideal for Thai yoga massage practitioners, yoga teachers, massage therapists or anybody who want to improve their wellbeing and understanding of therapeutic breathing.

Even the most fantastic massage given without correcting the breathing pattern can mean clients remain in sympathetic dominance, meaning muscles are overworked and painful. This course will reveal why breath awareness, attunement and correction is such an important and powerful therapeutic aid .

In this course, learn breathing mechanics, how to diagnose clients’ breathing with visual and tactile assessment, and give corrective exercises and hands-on therapy to restore healthy respiratory patterns.

Dynamic Thai Course – 5 days with Thierry Bienfaisant

– Dynamic Thai Massage combine the principles of Traditional Thai Massage with rocking, rhythmic and modern osteopathic principles as oscillatory techniques.

– Just as nature is characterised by seasons and cycles, each person is a living microcosm of rhythmic patterns such as breathing, heartbeats, peristalsis, cell division and hormonal cycles. The sacred dance of Thai Massage is elaborated upon with a range of movement to create fluidity, continuity and release.

– The treatment effectively shifts stagnation in the physical and energetic pathways, including life force energy, circulatory flow, nerve conduction, spinal mobility, and muscular and fascia structures. Often injury and deep holding patterns are healed as the mind and body are lulled into singing a different song.
