Sinking with Awareness into different Layers of the Body-Mind-Spirit.
2 modules for 2024. Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. Spain.
A time to feel and explore what happens under the skin layer.
UNDER THE SKIN is a bodywork experience where you will deepen your knowledge about anatomy and physiology, body mechanics and the variety of tools we use in treatment and why!
All under the view of Effortless Thai Massage, Wùo Taï & Modern Osteopathy.
We are inviting you to join us on a journey under the layer of the skin!
About the course
About the course:
Our training is unique & alternative:
Unique because it is where the ancient wisdom of Thai massage meets the sensitivity of modern Osteopathy.
Alternative because you are going to have a transformative life experience in a Sacred Natural environment.
Whether you come from the world of Yoga, Physiotherapy or Healing Arts such as Shiatsu or Chinese Medicine, this residential training is for you.
We will start our mornings with some mantras to open the silent meditation, followed by conscious movement, yoga, and breathing.
After a delicious and nourishing “Slow-breakfast" in silence we meet in the Shala for a whole day of bodywork classes and shared practice.
For this course, we will have a maximum of 16 participants. A small family to deepen our understanding and palpation and then travel together under the skin!
Contact us to save your spot for this unique bodywork adventure with these 2 experienced female teachers: Elisabeth Green & EvaSion.
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
We want to share a clear understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human body.
We will speak about and explore the different layers of the body, the different kinds of tissues, and how to address them.
How does it feel to connect to the fascia? and what can we learn from it?
Do you know how to touch the nervous system?
Would you like to speak to the spinal cord and listen to his music?
What is our therapeutic intention based on anatomy and physiology?
TOOLBOX CLARITY
What effects do different techniques have?
When do we use each technique?

BODY MECHANICS & SELFCARE
Inspired by Effortless ThaiYoga massage, you will learn how to move your own body in a way that is healing and improving your own health while you are giving a healing treatment.
How to match body mechanics (perfect fit - short vs. tall - hyper flexibility vs. hypo flexibility)
How to take care of yourself physically, energetically, and spiritually as a massage therapist.

Location
Espacio El Solapón. Gran Canaria
We found this place only because a friend recommended it to us!
A hidden gem, completely off the grid in the mountains of Gran Canaria, in a valley of palm trees and red soil, this is THE place to RETREAT and disconnect from our modern fast lives and tap into our own rhythms and nature. After driving on mountain roads for about an hour from the coast we will arrive at Espacio el Solapon, a camping ground lovingly taken care of by our host Mari Carmen.
Everything here says connect to (your own) nature.
Outdoor Shala hidden under a rock formation, where it will stay nice and cool during our practice when the canarian sun gets stronger during the day.
Outdoor kitchen and eating area, places to relax and rest in a hammock next to a banana plant. Outdoor toilets and showers. Lots of plants and love in every corner. Fireplace under the stars.
Basic accommodation in tents or on simple mattresses in a little house.
The Dream Team
Elisabeth Green
When Thai Massage came into my life in 2016, it opened a door to my heart and I felt I found the holistic bodywork practice and community I had internally been searching for. Also in 2016, I started studying Osteopathy and I believe that bringing together the precision and clarity of Osteopathy and the mindfulness of Thai Yoga Massage is a magical cocktail. Sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for these holistic healing approaches fills me with joy.
I completed my 5-year study of Osteopathy at WSO (Vienna) and am currently in my Master’s degree program.
I am fascinated by the body's inherent capacity to heal and deeply inspired by osteopathic philosophy and the way our bodies speak to us if we learn how to listen.

EvaSion
She started exploring the globe in 2000 for over 20 years. Thai Massage came across her path in 2007 to start a lifelong love story.
It is in this Art that her love for yoga and meditation comes together. Starting by following the Sunshine Network ThaiYoga lineage from the hands of Itzhak Helman. She is then also developed her therapist career by studying with some of the great living masters in Thailand and around the world. She shares her love for yoga & well-being and treats people everywhere she travels.
Since 2013 she is sharing her passions through courses, workshops, and retreats worldwide. Recently she introduces “Effortless ThaiYoga Massage” and also Thai massage & Yoga Vacation, to offer people to relax better and to discover themselves in nature.
She is always a student first in a never-ending learning process besides different teachers & techniques and is open to new ways of sharing and collaborations.
Currently, she settles down in La Palma Island. There she offers the possibility of receiving private, or small groups, customized bodywork classes, from Traditional Thai massage, ThaiYoga & Wùo Taï, while you can stay and volunteer at her home, an “off the grid” eco-farm named Evolution Avant-Garden.
