Myofascial Deep Tissue Massage & Somatic Release Therapy – In Depth

This training offers you a holistic approach to deep, slow and profound emotional bodywork as well as an intensive oportunity for self-exploration.

On one hand you will learn to give deep bodywork sessions with a clear and powerful approach and on the other hand you will be deeply touched every day, physically and emotionally.

The retreat gives you a unique opportunity to experience the power of slowness, connection, presence, awareness and trust in which the release of stuck energy, emotions and old patterns is happening naturally.

The following topics will be covered:

✨The principles of deep bodywork using muscles and fascia

✨A profound, deep understanding about the psycho-emotional aspects of different bodyparts and a deep dive into energetic anatomy

✨Connecting to yourself and to your clients, and staying connected during treatments

✨Applying pressure to use long, deep and slow strokes to open up the different physical layers that might be connected to physical and/or emotional challenges

✨Using your bodyweight and aligning yourself to be able to offer deep bodywork in the most gentle and comforting way for yourself

✨Modern anatomical knowledge that makes traditional spiritual wisdom experienceable in the body

✨Designing a session, putting sequences together for different purposes and holding space for deep releases

✨A first dip into subtle techniques and joint release which can have a huge impact

✨The art of slowing down in treatments (and in life in general 😉)

✨Practical and theoretical knowledge about release techniques, triggerpoints, fascia and energywork

✨Clear, structured sequences that give you the stability to use your intuition as well

Each day we are focusing on a different topic. Still we move in circles and cycles and will repeat the different techniques over the course of the training:

✨Day 1 – 3: BASICS & FUNDAMENTALS:
Upper back, neck; lower back;
Back of the legs, glutes;
Emotional theme – Looking back on the past to move forward

✨Day 4 – 7: IN DEPTH

✨Day 4: Legs – Ground yourself and connect to Mother Earth

✨Day 5: Abdominal region, hips, psoas muscle – Unleash your potential

✨Day 6: Thorax, chest, shoulders – Expansion of the heart

✨Day 7: Head, face, throat, neck – Sky as space in your head

The 3 days of BASICS & FUNDAMENTALS and 4 days of IN DEPTH can be booked separately or together as a full retreat.

The focus in my courses is always on practice and direct experience with theoretical knowledge almost always bound to this practice and experience.

From the first day you will observe, receive and give 2 massage treatments daily.

We will open each day with sharing, yoga, meditation, voice activation (chanting) and breathwork to support the daily theme and amplify the teachings and close every evening with different rituals (sharing, kirtan, cacao ceremony, etc.)

✨The whole training is designed for everyone who feels the call to learn the principles of deep touch as well as therapists who want to add even more depth to their service.

The training will be at beautiful Bliss Haven Retreat Centre in Mazunte. Accommodation can be arranged here separately (optional).
