Björn Großmann
Thai Yoga Massage
Early on I got to know intuitive massage, Shiatsu and Watsu. When I came across Krishnataki’s “Free your hands” course — Thai massage with the feet — it was clear: this is what I want to do. I have kept practising and learning ever since, often repeating courses. This work has become a true calling for me — it’s a joy, and something close to my heart: to master the techniques with precision and give the very best I have to offer.
With me you will find presence and sensitivity. I work with pressure, rhythm and stretch, and I tailor each session to you — in an atmosphere where you can arrive and let go.

The Alchemy of Abdominal Massage

Empowering the Core
with Krishnataki 3-day intensive courseTherapeutic work focusing on back problems. Learning to treat "trouble-maker" muscles such as the psoas, diaphragm, quadratus lumborum, hamstrings, piriformis and gluteal muscles. Integration of Taoism and osteopathic principles.
Morjim Sequences
with Siawasch Peyman 7-day advanced courseShort sequences for specific body regions: principles of Thai Yoga Massage and mindful bodywork with static, dynamic, still and recoil techniques, fascia work and special stretches. Osteothai and craniosacral work. Useful as a compact therapeutic unit or embedded in a longer flow; with a focus on observation and trauma-sensitive accompaniment.
Osteothai for the Main Joints
with David Lutt 5-day intensive courseOsteothai combines osteopathic principles with Thai massage — a bridge between East and West. This course focused on the mobility of the joints in the upper and lower limbs: ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow and wrist. We learned precise techniques to release blocked energy in the joints, restore joint mobility and support the body in its self-healing.
I am also trained in Watsu — a restorative water treatment in which you are supported and moved in warm water while I apply gentle stretches and massage strokes. This experience in water complements my land-based work in a special way. I also have knowledge of classical massage and shiatsu.

"Dynamic Thai Massage — Perpetual Movement Poetry"
Dynamic Thai for the third time — and new subtleties again. David showed what this work looks like when it truly lands: dynamic, close to the edge — yet safe and soft for the receiver.
I attended this course for the third time: once with Takis, twice with David Lutt. Because I already know and use the techniques, I notice new subtleties each time.
What moved me most was watching David demonstrate how Dynamic Thai Massage works when you truly master it. From the outside, some movements looked wild, almost as if they were at the limit of what a body can take — yet the receiver reported that it felt pleasant, safe, without a sense of boundaries being crossed. Afterwards, a deep softness showed in their face.
David spoke about how rare this kind of touch is — and how deeply it can reach people. That filled me with awe and, at the same time, a sense that a path in this direction may be possible for me too. Hard to put into words; someone beside me was moved to tears — and I myself was quiet and deeply touched.
