Hadadi

Hadadi is a school for Thai Massage & Yoga and a safe space for sharing the teachings of these beaut HEAL
We are all dealing with our own stories.

LEARN
For self-development or because you want to study the teachings behind the practice or because you want to be able to support others in their healing process. I am committed to sharing my knowledge and experience, empowering you on your journey. Some are causing more, and some less pain. But they all need healing. We need to change the narrative of these stories, from the story of pain and p

roblems, to the story of health and balance. So we can begin to feel ourselves again. I believe in holding a safe space in support of everyone's individual healing process. I love working with people 1-2-1 either with Osteothai or personalised Yoga sessions, but also run regular Yoga classes and courses all with a therapeutic emphasis.

PRACTICE
Whether you are looking to deepen or to start your practice, or to develop a daily self-care routine... I believe in a non-dogmatic approach, rooted in ancient tradition and modern science, and that Yoga and all body-mind practices are available for All. The power lies in developing a regular practice, and I would love to help you with that.

Our bodies already hold so much wisdom and know how to heal. It takes a safe space, some unlearning, and a little patience to reconnect with that process.

We can help people change the narrative of the stories that dictate their lives, from a story of pain to a story of health. Let’s understand the different types of pain, and the role of body awareness and movement in managing and preventing chronic pain.

Why does this matter? Yoga can empower us to understand our suffering (what really triggers it), but also our ability to respond in a more cohesive way.

This workshop is for Yoga teachers, movement facilitators and bodyworkers, as well as Yogis who are interested in this topic for their own practice. We will take a closer look at:
🌿 the neurology of pain
🌿 the different types of pain
🌿 how chronic pain develops
🌿 the relationship between chronic pain and trauma
🌿 the impact of our modern lifestyle on our bodies

This workshop is part theory, part practice. After gaining an understanding of chronic pain and the underlying stories involved, you will be guided through a practice that might support people in their healing process. You will gain the tools and principles to:
🌿 foster interoception and proprioception
🌿 explore available movement in the body
🌿 regulate the nervous system
🌿 create effortless movement in your postures
🌿 release diaphragmatic tension in support of the healing processes
🌿 strengthen the tissues
🌿 create a safe and invitational practice space

You can join me in person at Little Yoga Space, or online via Zoom. A recording will also be available.

PAY WHAT YOU CAN You pay a €10 deposit to secure your place, and at the end of the workshop any additional amount you find appropriate (normal price 35€)

This one is for all the Yoga teachers amongst you. If you are interested in a more therapeutic and trauma-informed approach to teaching Yoga, The Language of the Body could be for you.

You love teaching yoga and find joy in guiding others through their practice. Yet, you may sometimes feel uncertain or underprepared when it comes to supporting individuals living with chronic conditions, persistent pain, or anxiety. One of the core reasons you chose to become a yoga teacher was to help people enhance their quality of life. You envisioned creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where everyone feels they belong, regardless of their abilities or challenges. Perhaps you even feel a calling to specialise your teaching in this direction, offering classes that are truly therapeutic and accessible to all.

In this 60h accredited training course you will gain an understanding, techniques and tools to help you support people during their individual healing process.

Join me for a FREE orientation call on Zoom, this Friday (10th Jan) at 19h. You can sign up to the call here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=20336387&appointmentType=20218415.

In an increasingly disconnected world, one of the most powerful and vital aspects of Thai Yoga Massage is that it fosters deep, meaningful, and profound connection.

As with all Eastern practices, Thai Massage works with the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. Our primary intention is always to help bring the recipient back to a sense of wholeness.

Here, in this practitioner training, we come together as a community, to reconnect with ourselves, with Nature, with each other, to be fully nourished and to find a space where it is safe to explore the deeper layers of our Being.

As well as going through their personal process of discovery, understanding their own sensations, pain and emotions, every practitioner learns how to read the patterns and blockages in their clients through a healing touch.

Thai Yoga Massage is a practice where two individuals come together on the mat, engaging in a moving meditation. You arrive, stay fully present, and offer touch that is intentional and clear.

It’s all about showing up! Sticking to a regular practice really makes a difference, it helps with building connections, progressing in your practice, and making self-care a part of your routine.

I truly believe that we have the opportunity to empower people with Yoga, which is a very important step in their healing process. We can help people change the narrative of the stories that dictate their lives, from a story of pain and problems, to a story of healing and balance.

Many factors can contribute to back pain—structural issues like scoliosis or a herniated disc, muscular tension from stress or posture, injuries, or even emotional challenges. Whatever the cause, living with persistent pain can feel overwhelming and isolating.

This 6-week course is designed to help you develop a sustainable self-practice to support your back, alleviate tension, and regain a sense of ease in your body. Through slow, mindful movement, we’ll shift the story your body tells—from pain and frustration to healing and balance.

This course is for you if you’re ready to commit to weekly classes, embrace self-practice, and explore the circumstances around your back pain. It’s about progress and creating a foundation for long-term change.

📅 Next 6-week block starts 8th January 2025
🧘‍♀️ Option to complement your practice with Restorative Yoga & Somatics on Wednesdays (18:30–19:30) for deep relaxation and nervous system support.

22/12/2024

Is persistent back pain part of your story?

In my opinion, which comes from my own experience of living with scoliosis as well as working with so many people with back pain, a lot of it comes down to the nervous system.

So in my practice, I always start by checking in with my nervous system to see how I can best nourish it.

And then I look at un-doing some of the holding patterns, restoring mobility and ease in movement, and bringing up vitality and communication in my body.

Probably in that order.

If you are interested in exploring that with me, I will soon be starting a new 6-week block of my Yoga & Somatics for Back Pain class. You can join me online or if you are in Lisbon, in person at Little Yoga Space.

In a world that often prioritises productivity over people, safe spaces remind us of the power of community, empathy, and our shared humanity.

2025 is shaping up to be big!

Most of the events and trainings and retreats are now confirmed for next year (or at least the first half of it). So for anyone who wants to plan ahead (their time, commitments, budget etc), have a look.

The year will start with both theSomatic Toolkit for a Resilient Nervous System(in Lisbon) as well asThe Language of the Body (online).

There will be TWO residential Thai Yoga Massage practitioner trainings, and also TWO advanced courses.

Not on the list yet, but also in the planning three trips to the UK. Info coming soon!

And I am very excited to be a guest teacher at the Thai Massage Sangha Festival in Spain in June. This will be such a wonderful gathering.

I can't wait to connect with lots of you somewhere next year!

Ta-daaah! I am so excited to share my new branding with you. 🎉

Those of you who receive my newsletter may have already picked up on what’s been going on behind the scenes. I reckon it's time to get real clarity on what I'm offering, to really focus in. All the changes I made earlier this year to the running of Little Yoga Space were just the beginning.

Those changes have created so much space, so I can finally bring all my energy and attention to what I really want to be doing:

TREATMENTS - this is about working with people who are dealing with persistent pain or chronic conditions, and could be in form of Osteothai sessions or Yoga & Somatics (classes, workshops or retreats)

TRAININGS - Of course all the Thai Massage trainings, but also around my take on Yoga, working with the nervous system, and creating community.

MENTORSHIP - This is the big project for 2025, more to come on that.

When you put it like this, it's all really quite simple :) What a relief.

I am working with the amazing team of .studio on all of this:
1) Creating clarity around my offers
2) My sparkling new branding
3) New photos and lots of amazing videos to come
4) A new strategy for Social Media - so you will see a lot more content from me soon
5) And we are working on a new website to come early 2025!

The team at Soulwalk Studio has been a huge help and I can't wait for all the things still to come from this new collaboration. Working with these guys has truly highlighted how essential support is. I can’t do it all alone. Finding your people and building a community is not only deeply healing but also vital for finding your place and making a meaningful contribution.

Another big thank you has to go to , who is the person who makes most of my Social Media happen in the first place, who keeps me organised, and who is working with me on rolling out this whole new look. 🙏

You see .eu and I talk about the Somatic Toolkit a lot these days. So who is this 50h training really for?

🔹 Qualified yoga teachers, bodyworkers, coaches or retreat facilitators who take their continued education responsibility seriously, and want to expand their toolkit for both one-to-one and group settings;
🔹 OR psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, social workers, or front-line workers who want to bring more body-based practices into their work;
🔹 OR people who work in the field of social impact who recognise how necessary, beneficial and relevant a more embodied approach is;
🔹 You are open to a non-dogmatic approach to somatic facilitation;
🔹 You are committed and open to the continual process this work requires.

Mother Nature is reminding us that flexibility and adaptability are crucial for staying healthy and balanced during the winter months.

Johanna will teach you self-massage techniques using Roll Model® Therapy Balls to improve posture and mobility. To balance your energy levels, we apply passively held Yin Yoga poses to promote a deep release of emotional and physical tension and boost kidney function. We will use bolsters, blankets and blocks for support.

Then I will guide you through a movement practice drawing from Qi Gong, Yoga and Somatics to foster a sense of soft inner strength. The intention is to balance your kidney energy and restore a sense of vitality and ease in the body.

Hayley will give you gentle acupuncture to nourish the deep energies of the Kidney meridian. This is where we connect to our most vital resources physically and mentally, and prepare the ground for our full bloom of activity and strength. Bring extra layers for warmth as you will be relaxing in shivasana during this time.

Mats and yoga equipment are available, and you may prefer to bring your own. Please bring a warmer layer/socks for the relaxation parts of our retreat.

The principle of yielding is one that I love working with, in this short series I would like to share the reason I think it is so important to reconnect to our innate wisdom and relationship with the group and the earth. If you would like to watch the whole video which includes a short practice, check the link in my YouTube highlights for the full video on my channel!

Part 4! This is a short series about why I don’t believe in ‘alignment rules’ in Yoga poses, but how instead we can work, learn and move from sensory input and find support through our structure.

What are the benefits of working with someone long-term? In Thai Yoga Massage, working with someone long-term means getting to know them to a point where they trust you and can feel supported by you in the ups and downs of life, and you get to experience a bit of their journey too. Supporting them at difficult times, but also being there to share the good times! If you want to dive even deeper into working with chronic conditions and pain in Thai Yoga Massage, I am running an advanced course specifically on this topic in May. For dates and enrolment details, check my link in bio! #ThaiYogaMassage #MassageCourse #YogaPortugal #TerapiasAlternativas #TraumaInformed #ManagingPain #PostTraumaGrowth #ThaiYogaMassageTraining #Colitis

Trusting the process of healing can be tough when it is not always linear, but the relationship between patient and care-provider needs to be solid in order to navigate the lower moments and come out on the other side. At times, a flare-up is bound to happen and it is important to support the person and offer empathy, and guidance. This video is an excerpt of a longer YouTube video where I’m discussing a couple of case studies I encountered while offering Thai Yoga Massage treatments. If you are interested in learning more about it, check the whole video on my YouTube channel! #ThaiYogaMassage #ThaiYogaMassageCertification #ThaiYogaMassageTraining #Colitis

"You can't pour from an empty cup" is a phrase we hear when talking about self-care, it reminds us that to effectively support others we must take care of ourselves first. As teachers, facilitators, caregivers, we are used to the role of giving and to be able to keep doing that and showing up for our students or clients we need to make sure that we are also nourished and taken care of. That is why I wanted to highlight the importance of creating a resilience regimen, a set of daily practices that will focus on doing something that nourishes us every single day. Creating a resilience regimen is essential, even if it requires discipline to establish and maintain. These daily practices focus on nurturing ourselves and are vital for sustaining our roles. What is something you do to nourish yourself? #SelfCare #SelfNourishment #MentalHealth #Burnout #NourishYourself #AvoidBurnout #SelfcareRegimen #SomaticToolkit

Grounding is one of those overused words and it has lost its authenticity. So let's try to understand what it really means, how we can foster it, and why practice it in the first place.

10 things that a Yoga class should foster when working with people with persistent pain (in my opinion anyway).

It's so good to hear that more and more people starting out in supporting professions consider a more trauma-informed approach from the outset.

5 reasons why creating safe spaces matters. Let's keep having these important conversations. #SafeSpace #TraumaInformed #LanguageOfTheBody #StrongerInCommunity #PostTraumaticGrowth #SomaticHealing

Why we need more trauma-informed spaces in today’s landscape of so many people with persistent pain. More info about The Language of the Body: https://www.hadadithaimassage.com/language-of-the-body.html
