Blue Garden Yoga and Massage Training

About the school

Blue Garden is the antithesis of the certificate-factory model: a small owner-taught studio in the old city, built from natural materials with a tree growing through the roof, where the Dutch founder Remco teaches alongside his Thai partner Bow. Remco brings over thirty years of Thai massage practice and twenty of yoga, studied with Ajahn Pichest Boonthumme, and has additional grounding in Zen shiatsu, Chi Nei Tsang under Mantak Chia, reiki and foot reflexology. His stated pedagogy is to move students beyond 'standard' Thai massage into fluid, intuitive movement, body awareness and mindful touch - technique in service of sensitivity rather than a routine to memorise. The offering reflects that: Chi Nei Tsang abdominal work, a NeuroThai pain-treatment approach, dynamic rocking massage, stretch and joint mobilisation modules, and a one-month intensive Thai massage foundation. It suits experienced bodyworkers wanting to loosen up their practice and students who prefer a small studio with one distinctive teacher. It suits less well anyone who needs an accredited certificate for licensing.
