Description

The Temple of Touch: Thai Massage Workshop – Level 1

On a late September afternoon, Decentered Studio transformed into a sanctuary of presence and play as Sidney Nicol guided participants through the foundations of Thai Massage. Moving in rhythm with breath, they discovered how to give and receive touch with ease—using body weight, alignment, and gravity as allies.

The room swelled with partnered stretches, mindful compression, and moments of laughter as people explored the art of conscious connection. More than technique, the workshop offered a practice of trust—where movement became meditation and touch became a shared language.

Sidney, founder of The Temple of Touch, has been cultivating this playful, healing approach since her first Thai Massage training at the Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok in 2006. Blending traditions of yoga, massage, and mindfulness, she invites both beginners and seasoned practitioners to reconnect with the power of touch as a pathway to presence.
