– THE ART OF TOUCH –
15 – 25 July 2025
𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄
This 10-days Basic course offers a PRACTICAL TRAINING in the Art of Thai Yoga Massage in supine, prone, side and seated position, techniques of self-massage, meditation and yoga. We will explore THE ART OF TOUCH, traveling from the feet to the head with daily demonstrations, theory and practice time.
Gentleness and firmness of touch and a meditative and emphatic intention create a heart-opening environment for clear, flowing communication. Touch can offer compassion, support and healing. We will embark on a journey into feeling with your hands and listening with your heart.
This course is not only about technical know-how. We will co-create a space to nurture body and soul, to relax and to be yourself… to enjoy and celebrate loving-kindness!

THAI IN FLOW – SCHOOL OF THAI MASSAGE AND OSTEOTHAI
𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓
The main focus of this course will be on developing a keen sense of touch. Using tools such as meditation, self-inquiry, Chi Gong, Yoga, dance and journaling, we will get in touch with ourselves. From within we will embark on a path of Thai massage with awareness and compassion.
As this is a residential course, we will dive deeper into communal living, cultivating METTA (loving-kindness), compassion, and understanding.

The course will take place in the community Gemeinschaft Sonnenwald in Seewald-Schernbach, a small village on a sunny plateau in the Freudenstadt district (Black Forest). Just a 20 minute walk away from a lake. A few footsteps into the forest.
A community that research about the question how a new culture of togetherness might look like. They practice regenerative agriculture, engage in transformative education, use natural resources mindfully and make decisions together in a sociocratic manner.
Part of the community is the organic farm Hof Sonnenwald. The meals that are cooked for our course, will be made mostly from the own products of their regenerative agriculture.

Lena Schmitz
Organisation & Assistant
Lena lives in the Gemeinschaft Sonnenwald, where the course takes place.
On her path with somatic work and spirituality she encountered Thai Yoga Massage. After her basic course with Krishnatakis in 2022 and some deepenings with Kerys, Bojan, Almuth and Cecile she manifested the idea of organising a course with Bojan in Germany. She is a yoga teacher (Yin and Hatha) and works as a permaculture enthusiast in regenerative agriculture and gardening
What particularly excites her about Thai yoga massage is the path to feel, to touch and give from the heart. To connect deeply with yourself and the receiver in this sacred dance.
