Traditional Thai massage with Alexander Stavrinos
Our body is an energy vessel like every other living organism. The
energy, in order to be able to circulate in the body and be beneficial
and useful, utilizes certain channels or meridians (meridians in the
Chinese and Japanese traditions, nadis in the yogic tradition and
sen in the Thai tradition). The purpose of Traditional Thai Massage
is to help the energy flow, removing any blockages through pressure
and stretching.
During these ten days we will learn the traditional sequence of exercises/asanas,
the right posture during a Thai Massage session and how to relate
and connect to the recipient. We will learn how to work with the receiver
in the supine, side, prone and sitting position. Completing this seminar
will teach us how to give a decent and very soothing massage as well
as some techniques to relief common ailments (like headache and lower
back pain). We will also learn centering and relaxation techniques.
The 80 hour seminar is open for everyone, no previous experience is
needed.
Alexander Stavrinos
Born and raised in Athens, Greece, Alexander was from his early teen
years interested in the more spiritual and "esoteric" matters
of life.
He has been traveling extensively throughout Africa and Asia and has
always been interested in the healing traditions of these cultures.
After some years of job-hopping in different areas of employment he
decided to change his lifestyle towards a more spiritual path. Suffering
himself from a cervical spine syndrome he thought that an alternative
method may help him. He discovered that Traditional Thai Massage or
Thai Yoga Massage is not only a very deep and powerful form of healing
for him, but also a spiritual path. He felt that his calling was to
share his knowledge with as many people as he could.
Alexander has studied Thai Massage with master teacher Asokananda
and with Arno L'Hermitte of Sunshine Network as well as in European
School of Shiatsu with a total of more than 600 teaching hours. He
has also studied Pranic Healing with Helen Weeks and Reiki 1st and
2nd degree with Eleni Skondra. He now incorporates the two (Thai Massage
and Reiki) in every session creating an even more dynamic and powerful
experience.
Alexander is also practicing Vipassana meditation for several years.
