Abdominal massage course

Tradycyjny przekaz z nauczyciela na ucznia

Tajski masaż brzucha oraz Chi Nei Tsang

Deep work with the abdominal area, combining elements of Taoist practice with traditional Thai bodywork.

In traditional Thai medicine, the abdomen is considered an important centre of the body. When the body is functioning well, the abdomen naturally moves with the breath and feels soft, warm and at ease.

Hania Łubek o masażu brzucha

Over almost 20 years of practising and teaching Thai massage, I have repeatedly found that working with the abdomen can be essential when we want to understand and work with the body as a whole.
For years, I therefore sought out teachers who specialised in this particular area. I studied different approaches to abdominal work in Chiang Mai, comparing their methods and gradually incorporating what I found valuable into the Yeshe approach.
Abdominal work is an important part of traditional Thai massage. Many of the Thai Sen lines are accessed through the abdomen, and working with this area can influence the way the body moves, breathes and feels. It is also interesting to note that many traditional Thai acupressure approaches for the lower back and hips begin with points on the abdomen.
The abdomen also responds strongly to stress. We often tighten this area without even noticing it, especially when stress becomes chronic. Working with the abdomen can therefore be a powerful way of bringing more ease and space to the whole body.

Abdominal massage is one of the most important elements of traditional Thai massage. This is where the Thai Sen lines run, and in traditional Thai medicine, their proper functioning is considered important for the way we feel in our bodies, how well the organs function and how relaxed the mind can be. It is worth noting that almost all traditional Thai acupressure procedures for lower-back and hip problems begin with points on the abdomen.

The abdomen, however, responds to more than just feelings of happiness and ease. It naturally tightens in moments of stress, and when stress becomes chronic, some people experience the abdominal area as a place where emotional tension and difficult experiences are held. Over time, this can contribute to physical tension and discomfort in the body.

What makes abdominal work so important?

  • Releases tension in the superficial fascia and adhesions, creating more space for the tissues and organs
  • Can help release physical tension held in the abdominal area
  • Deeply relaxes the body and supports nervous system regulation — many people notice that they sleep more peacefully afterwards
  • Stimulates circulation and lymphatic flow in the abdominal area
  • Helps release tension around the lower back and can support more natural posture and movement

W Yeshe z brzuchem pracujemy na dwa sposoby

Depending on whether you want to add abdominal techniques to your existing bodywork practice or learn a separate, in-depth approach to abdominal work, we offer two different courses.

Kurs indywidualny CHI NEI TSANG

Chi Nei Tsang is a traditional Taoist approach to working with the abdominal area and internal organs. The work is precise and progressive, allowing us to work through layers of tension and restriction.

The course is based on a sequence developed by Nareena Tawanmai (also known as Nareena Tawari), a student in the lineage of one of Thailand’s well-known teachers, Khun Ni.
Hania’s own interest in this work grew through studying different approaches to abdominal massage in Chiang Mai, and this is why Chi Nei Tsang has become a separate part of the Yeshe teaching programme.

The treatment is performed with meditative concentration, either on a mat or on a massage table, and takes approximately two hours.

Because this work requires a certain level of experience and sensitivity in working with the body, the course is best suited to people who already practise bodywork.

Kurs grupowy — Tajski masaż brzucha (Nuad Thong)

Elements of abdominal massage are introduced already during the beginner Thai massage course. Deeper work with this area, however, requires sensitivity, precision and a good understanding of the body’s response — which is why we develop it further in this separate three-day course.

During the course we explore:

Superficial fascia – releasing the superficial fascia is an important first step in abdominal work, creating access to deeper layers of the body.
Diaphragm and chest – you will learn techniques that help free the breath and improve the relationship between the diaphragm, chest and abdominal area. The diaphragm also plays an important role in posture and in balancing pressure within the chest and abdomen.
Sen Sumana –one of the important Thai Sen lines, traditionally associated with the element of wind. In Thai bodywork, this line is connected with the heart, lungs, intestines, stomach and thyroid.
Liver and gallbladder – we explore techniques for working with the area around the liver and gallbladder, helping to release unnecessary tension and improve mobility of the surrounding tissues.
Psoas – a key area when working with lower-back tension. You will learn to locate and work with the psoas directly, as well as through complementary stretches.

Supporting the pelvic organs – we explore techniques for working with the lower abdomen that can support the area around the bladder and pelvic organs, particularly in relation to changes associated with ageing or after pregnancy.

wybrane opinie z profilu Yeshe szkoła masażu tajskiego w google

What impressed me most about Hania Łubek's Yeshe Nuad was its attentive, intuitive approach to working with the body. What I value most is that it doesn't rely on reproducing ready-made patterns, but on listening to the body and adapting the massage to the person receiving it. I hope to carry the art of presence, empathy, and deep respect for another human being — which I experienced throughout the course — into my own encounters with people on the mat.

Grzegorz Rduch

Yeshe is much more than a massage school. It's a place and a community where openness to learning meets joy and a family-like atmosphere. The work is professional and deep, yet light and heartfelt. Hania is a wonderful teacher, and the school she has created is one of a kind. I recommend it to anyone who wants not just to learn massage, but to meet sensitive people, laugh together, and connect with their own intuition.

Magda Czarny

Yeshe is the school where I first took the foundation and advanced courses, and later had the great pleasure of assisting Hania for several years. (...). I would add that Yeshe is the only school in Poland to host Thai acupressure courses taught by Noam Tyroler.

Justyna Virmani

An exceptional massage school. You learn not only the practical techniques of Thai massage, but a sensitive way of approaching another person's body. This style of massage is remarkably energizing and revitalizing — and unlike the stereotypical Thai massage, it causes no pain. Highly recommended.

Paweł Jurewicz

The Yeshe school is not simply about learning massage techniques. Every course carries an authentic teaching, knowledge gathered at the source and through years of practice — all in a remarkable atmosphere of respect and sensitivity.

These courses have changed a great deal in my life; I have returned several times to work with Hania and her guest teachers.

The Yeshe community matters deeply too: we support one another, learn from one another, and share what we discover.

Alicja Pilarczyk

The authenticity of the teaching, Hania's experience, and the fact that she studied directly with a respected master in Thailand — and still continues her own training after all these years — speaks for itself.
The course opens your mind and asks you to stop overthinking: to follow intuition and read the signals of the body in front of you. That is a value that changes how you experience massage and lifts your work to another level. After the professional course, you want nothing else but Thai massage. Yeshe Nuad reaches problems that classical massage cannot. And I know of no other school with a community like this one — supportive, still learning together, with follow-up online workshops open to graduates. Yeshe — highly addictive.

Michalina Ligierska

I took part in both the professional and the therapeutic (advanced) course. I can wholeheartedly recommend them for the knowledge Hania shares and for the sensitivity she teaches from the very beginning. Particular attention is given to posture — protecting the body of the person giving the massage — and to mindfulness toward the body of the person receiving it.

Sylwia Bartkowiak

The Thai massage course at Yeshe changed my life and fulfilled a dream of work that serves others — and serves me as well. Instead of staring at a computer screen, I now spend my days in movement and in my own center. The way Hania teaches opens up unlimited room for growth, because it is grounded in feeling and intuition — every massage is shaped precisely around the needs of the person receiving it. The techniques themselves were presented in a way that was easy to remember, and thanks to the small group, it was always easy to ask the teacher for help or extra guidance.

Kurs prowadzi Hania Łubek

Hania has been practising Thai massage since 2007. She is the founder of Yeshe Thai Massage School and the creator of the Yeshe Nuad approach, rooted in traditional Thai bodywork.

She has studied with many Thai teachers and masters, including Pichest Boonthume in Chiang Mai, and regularly returns to Thailand to deepen her practice. Since 2010, more than 750 people in Poland and abroad have taken part in her courses.

Hania teaches an approach to massage that does not follow a set sequence, but instead responds precisely to the body of each individual person. She pays just as much attention to the person giving the massage: working with posture, breath and movement from the centre is at the heart of her teaching, allowing the massage to become effortless.
