AYURVEDIC YOGA MASSAGE
FIRE ELEMENT
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is a holistic bodywork originally developed by Master Kusum Modak in Pune, India in the early 1980s. Influenced by traditional Ayurvedic massage therapy (Vasudev Limaye) and haṭha yoga (B. K. S. Iyengar), this unique method dynamically and synergistically combines deep tissue oil massage with yoga-based assisted stretching and synchronized breathwork. This type of massage allows one to experience a deep sense of openness and well-being on a physical, psychological, and emotional level through the unlocking of the healing power of conscious touch.
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is particularly suitable for individuals that:
- Wish to release a wide range of tensions
- Wish to balance and harmonize their energy levels holistically from an ayurvedic perspective (doshas, chakras, prana, agni)
- Are looking to improve their respiratory patterns
- Are looking to go deeper into their healing journey
- Would like to experience a unique type of massage
Raphaël is a very dedicated and professional massage therapist. His calming and reassuring presence contribute to harmonious and trustworthy release during a massage treatment with him. His hands are attentive and present at all times during his massages which allow for a completely relaxing and revitalizing experience. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

IN-FLOW THAI MASSAGE
EARTH ELEMENT
Being a clothed massage technique and requiring no oil, In-Flow Thai Massage (also called Dynamic Thai Massage) is a unique flavor of Thai massage involving gentle rocking and repetitive (at times continuous), harmonious movements, dynamic stretches, acupressure, joint mobilization and traction of different body parts. Inspired by Ajanh Chaiyuth Priyasith, one of the most prominent traditional Thai massage teachers of the 20th century from Chiang Mai, this massage therapy is a true meditation in movement that allows one to restore mobility and experience a profound sense of relaxation on a physical and psychological level by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system through a listening, kind, and grounded touch.
In-Flow Thai Massage is particularly suitable for individuals that:
- Struggle to relax and sleep
- Wish to bring back their mind and body into harmony by releasing a wide range of blockages

TIBETAN NEJANG YOGA
WIND ELEMENT
Tibetan Nejang Yoga is a simple, gentle, and safe form of internal yoga transmitted by the great Tibetan monk-scholar and yogi Butön Rinchen Drup བུ་སྟོན་རིན་ཆེན་གྲུབ (1290-1364), taking roots in the Indian Kalachakra tradition and prescribed to patients by Tibetan physicians for centuries to improve health and vitality as well as to support spiritual practice. Consisting of 24 physical exercises that connect the 24 locations of the body (né གནས།) that we train or purify (jang སྦྱང།) with the 24 outer and inner sacred tantric dimensions, it relies on breathwork, self-massage, and meditative concentration to open and purify the channels, balance and refine the subtle energies of the body, sooth the mind, and nourish the inner organs. Nejang Yoga is therefore a complete practice that unifies body, energy, and mind in a holistic fashion, bringing spiritual healing to all aspects of one’s being, including physical and mental health.
Tibetan Nejang Yoga is an internal form of yoga that:
- Improves body awareness
- Improves breathing patterns
- Nurtures a sense of wellbeing
- Helps to get more familiar with the inner landscape of the subtle anatomy
- Stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system
- … and more
COSMIC BONES MEDITATION
ETHER ELEMENT
The Cosmic Bones Meditation is an original practice crafted by Kůra Růka to offer a safe, healing refuge and space to any individual looking to be guided in the reconnection with their own self, journeying back to their inherently shining nature. It stands as an introspective pilgrimage into the Heart, designed to facilitate an essential, symbiotic reunion with Nature and its soul, lost in the depths of the current World of Separation. Through the cultivation of a holistic approach (‘Cosmic’ for the spiritual, universal, invisible, and eternal ; ‘Bones’ for the physical, personal, perceptible, and ephemeral), a new environment opens itself, conducive to the unlocking, understanding, and honouring of the multilayerity and impermanence of the silences that color the sacredness of Life. From reframing and manifestation, new and liberating pathways emerge and blossom while leaving behind past realities, hindrances, and paradigms, allowing you to anchor yourself deeply in the Sacred Presence your heart already knows.
The Cosmic Bones Meditation practice was crafted to be profoundly rooted in ecospiritual consciousness principles, with Nature as the primary guide:
- Tending: Being awake and conscious with deep, inner self reflection;
- Dwelling: Being with the seen and unseen;
- Reverence: Rediscovering the mystery presents in all creation and its embodied sense of the sacred;
- Connectedness: Cultivating an organic relationship with the Universe;
- Sentience: Cultivating a sense of knowing;
