Thai Yoga Massage CPD Workshop
Freeing the Heart Space
The heart space is the centre of our compassion and emotion, and deserves special care and attention in our treatments. So often people carry a heavy heart and feel actual pain and pressure. Grief, loneliness, separation, unprocessed trauma can lead to strong habitual protective patterns around the heart. So much so, it will effect people’s posture and breathing and lead to lack of mobility in the shoulders, arms and neck.
In this workshop we will explore tools and techniques to free up the whole upper thorax and back and restore the vitality of heart and lungs. And we will cultivate a deeper level of presence to help us connect with this usually more sensitive part of our Being.
We will work on:
- Mobilising the shoulder girdle and ribcage
- Freeing the thoracic spine
- Releasing tension in the diaphragm
- Restoring vitality in the liver (the king of the organs supporting the heart)
- Freeing the fascia surrounding the heart and lungs
- Approaching different emotional blockages
- Connecting with the energy of the heart
- Integration with the structure and wholeness of the body
This workshop is for floor-based bodyworkers (Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage etc). Most of the workshop will be spent practicing the techniques on each other. Throughout the workshop we will be modelling how to create a safe and trauma-informed space for people to receive this healing modality.
By the end you will have a sequence/selection of techniques for restoring mobility and vitality in the thorax and heart space, that you will be able to incorporate into your existing work supporting your clients.
