"If you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything" -Thich Nhat Hanh
Unique and profound courses integrating Meditation, Yoga & Thai Massage held worldwide.
Thai Yoga Massage is a moving meditation that helps awaken both the receivers' and therapists' life-force to heal themselves. It is a holy interaction between two people and mother nature.
We start learning from the connection between the earth and our vertical axis, our own comfortability, and our quality of mind: this is another form of practicing Yoga.
It is not about studying techniques and trying to heal other people's pain. It is about practicing of our own presence and learning to bring our heart into our hands with Metta (loving kindness).

which underpin Western knowledge with Eastern wisdom. This 2-day course, aims to switch off the head and open the door of the heart. It is a holistic approach to Thai Massage & Osteothai through which you can deepen your treatment practice. Rather than focusing on only muscles and bones using your head, by being more mindful in your touch, based on understanding of what “we are” and how the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) responds to the touch, you can offer your clients richer and more therapeutic treatments. 🇬🇧More information |

Facilitator :
Chiharu Shanti
Chiharu was first introduced to Yoga in 2001. Since that time, her interest and advanced studies have expanded to Ancient Thai healing massage, Meditation, Buddhism, Ayurveda and Osteothai. Being strongly inspired by David Lutt, she felt a resonance in the essence of western bodywork methodology such as Osteopathy and Craniosacral Biodynamic with the integration of Eastern spirituality and medicinal systems. Today she is enchanted by the practice of Osteothai and is an assistant of David's in Europe and Asia where she also organizes his annual Japanese DTM and Osteothai training courses. In 2022, she was certified as Master Osteothai (MOT) practitioner. Currently, Chiharu is expanding her various course offerings for professional therapists to be able to have deeper dialogue with others by expanding our own presence and cultivating mindfulness in our senses of body and mind. Her humble, detailed and unique teaching style is loved in Asia, Europe, Canada and Morocco; meanwhile, everyday, she is deepening her own practice. With a background in yoga therapy, Chiharu’s Osteothai practice is deeply connected in treating psychosomatic conditions and mental stress. Her therapeutic style is concerned with the breathing system, autonomic nervous system, body fluids circulatory system, muscular/skeletal system, organ health, and soft tissue relaxation to allow her patients to return to a balanced state of mobility and harmony.

Treatment :
The Art of Touch
Osteothai & Dynamic Thai massage with Chiharu “Life is movement, and rhythm is its main component. -David Lutt” There are a variety of movements inside our body that may help us heal ourselves: Osteothai is an integration of Osteopathic principles and techniques through Thai massage. Trusting in and relying on our own innate power of healing, Ostheothai allows our body to experience more space and freedom for its inner “movement” to flow better, which lead to deeper rejuvenation and realization. This treatment intends to maximize the capacity of our natural ability to adapt. It helps us to restore the rhythm and harmony of our body, relax bodily tissues and the mind, to revive decreased mobility & health of internal organs and the musculoskeletal system, to free the nervous and breathing systems, to enhance bodily fluid circulation, to let go of shock and trauma from our body/body-memory, and to re-energize our vitality to become more active human-beings again. This process facilitates the harmonizing of our body, mind, and spirit. For more information about Osteothai and Dynamic Thai massage: "Lulyani - school of Thai massage and Osteothai" |
