Thai Massage Workshop: Sitting Position – Werka, Kiki, Marysia / April 11-12

We invite both beginners and those with experience in bodywork—regardless of previous experience—to our Saturday Thai massage workshops. This session will be primarily a time of regeneration, tranquility, and mindful encounter with another person, as well as an opportunity to deepen your body awareness.

Traditional Thai massage, known as “passive yoga” or “moving meditation,” is an incredible tool for relaxation and nurturing the body and mind.

TTM—Nuad Bo Rarn—is an ancient style of holistic therapeutic practice. This massage method combines acupressure, stretching, and other techniques that improve energy flow, flexibility, and stress relief.

We will show you how to use your body in the most effective, healthy, and relaxed way possible during a massage.

During the upcoming session, we will teach you how to guide the massage recipient into a sitting position and focus on massage techniques primarily for the torso, shoulders, and neck.

We will also work with breath—we will examine how it affects the nervous system and overall health, and how we can consciously utilize it during a massage.

Werka Tyrpa
I am passionate about the flow state, psychosomatics, and the opportunities for personal development that awakening creativity brings. In therapeutic work, I value the power of gentleness, a sense of intuition, and being “here and now.” AcroYoga and Thai massage completely stole my heart in 2016. I began and continue my “Nuad Bo Rarn” practice, among others. at the Sunshine Network School: Traditional Thai Yoga Massage and Ayurvedic Bodywork, where I have been an assistant in the teacher training program since 2018. In 2021, I completed a full-time classical massage school with elements of physiotherapy. It was then that anthroposophical medicine, along with Eurythmy and a whole new universe of possibilities, knocked on my door. In 2023, I completed a two-year course with Michaela Schnur, an expert in anthroposophical care and treatment (IFAN).

During my internship in Thailand, I expanded my body and emotional work with such beautiful tools as Tok Sen, Guasha, and Chi Nei Tsang.

I share my love of movement and conscious touch through the AcroTribe project.

Piotr “Kiki” Szewczyk
I am a native of Krakow, and for years I have been in love with various sports, but also with nature. For many years, I was involved in Caribbean and contemporary dance. Then, I transferred my experience as a dance instructor to the mat to teach greater body awareness and healthy movement habits. In 2021, I stumbled upon my first dynamic vinyasa practice and immediately knew that this was it – if I could, I would spend most of my time on my hands 🙂 Since 2023, I have been teaching regular yoga classes. I also love learning new things, developing in various areas, and gaining new qualifications – currently, besides yoga, I am developing a passion for rock climbing, acroyoga, and Thai massage. Thai massage complements yoga exceptionally well, which is why I have become increasingly interested in it, practicing it, and furthering my education through various courses and workshops. I also enjoy utilizing experiences from various fields in my classes and in my own practice. When I’m not spending time in the gym, I escape into nature – preferably to the mountains or sailing. 2024 – Yoga Teacher Training Course, 200 hours (Yoga Alliance 200h RYTT)

Marysia Soltys
I am a trained nurse. After graduating, I began a further development path towards a holistic approach to health. I studied Reiki practice in India, where I also supported the organization of Reiki workshops for women. I then graduated from a Thai massage school near Chiang Mai, Thailand. I’m currently continuing my Thai massage and bodywork studies with Asia Kubiakowska (Sensib Bodywork) and Weronika Tyrpa, and I’m also studying Stems & Branches acupuncture under the supervision of Michał Richter.

For years, I’ve observed how mindful, multi-layered work with individuals can bring greater harmony, depth, and inner cohesion to life. That’s why this path has become my passion, and I’m constantly developing in these areas.
I value Thai massage most for its holistic, holistic approach. I appreciate that it has a very relaxing and soothing effect, but also strengthens and stimulates the life force within a person.
