The invitation to let the body expand from within

Living Touch Massage Training

The art of massage is to feel yourself and the other in a continuous dance of communication

The Living Touch Massage Training is an invitation to get to know and apply massage in its different dimensions. You will experience how different techniques can help to playfully expand the space for presence and body awareness. You will learn to feel, to see, to touch and to trust with all your senses. After the training, you are able to give massage sessions that are unique and individually tailored to the needs and situation of the clients. Deeply relaxing and at the same time energising techniques to touch the body are taught. The touch happens from the moment, it can be very deep, silent or dynamic. Therapists and clients are in communication about what is experienced. What becomes obvious is consciously experienced and the body is invited to expand from within.

We combine elements from Thai Yoga Massage, acupressure, and connective tissue massage to work deeply and specifically on the body’s structure—particularly the connective tissue, muscles, and joints. As tensions release, the body can rebalance itself and establish a healthy relationship between tension and relaxation. Energy pathways are revitalized. The body is deeply stretched in its entirety, leading to a new mobility and strength

Testimonial

Some kind words

Manuela de Silva - Living Touch Massage Training 2022/2023

“My heartfelt thanks to you, Rachana and Vira, for this wonderful experience of learning, trying, enjoying, sharing, laughing, relaxing and so much more. The Living Touch Massage training has significantly broadened my view of massage and bodywork. Rachana and Vira are true practitioners. Both share their deep knowledge from the bottom of their hearts with passion, humor and dedication. Carried by the atmosphere of Osho Uta, Rachana and Vira have created a safe space for sharing, practicing and personal development. Living Touch taught much more than theory and technique. Of particular importance to me was the experience of mindfulness and presence in the work. The wonderfully intense massages that result from this, directly perceptible for both sides, on and off the bench - simply WOW.”

“When you touch the body, you touch the whole person, and the person touches you.”

— Vira Drotbohm
