My time in Chiang Mai became super busy, it was all good though as I was teaching alot & my final classes were teaching on a 5 day Anatomy course with beautiful Jo. It was a lovely group & the course went well & I really enjoyed the experience. After a lovely break to the floating cottages I came back to Chiang Mai to prepare for the Circus in Loas (www.thaimassagecircus.com), a month intensive thai massage course living out in the sticks! The day before me & Stella (my wonderful yoga & love of tea friend!) were due to set off I got a little sick, fever, backache, headache etc! I have observed now that its seems every time I moving countries or setting off for some new adventure I get sick! Anyway I think it was good that I got sick before the course as it meant that I managed not to get sick during my time at the Circus.
THE THAI MASSAGE CIRCUS
Wonderful, Amazing, Joyful, Grounding, Beautiful, Divine, Fabulous, Transforming, Calming Experience......
As I sit & write this my Circus memories just make me smile, smile, smile :-). It really was a truly magical experience & exceeded any expectations i may have had. It took me about 2 minutes to feel at home on the land, surrounded by water & nature. The land is so beautiful with a mini rice fields, vegetable & herb gardens, papaya trees every where & combined with such a strong vibration from the land.
The Highlights..........
Waking up at 6am to meditate, knowing you had a beautiful day of yoga, thai chi, Capoeira, then wonderful food, a swim in our natural pond & after all that we began to learn, practice new massage techniques & learning how to feel.
Circus day at the waterfall - A playful day up at the waterfall, a 15 minute walk from our camp. We offered massages to tourists (Loas people & tourists from all over the world), played acro yoga, sang, danced, swam basically had loads of fun & offered our heeling services to the world. We managed to get some tourists to join in & sing & dance with us!
