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.
(6)

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.

🗓 REMINDER: ‘The Story of The Pelvic Floor’ workshop is only one month away!
If you are interested in understanding the true role of the Pelvic Floor beyond just tightening for core strength, this online workshop is for you.

You'll learn how the Pelvic Floor interacts with the body’s diaphragms, affects posture, stores trauma patterns, and maintains the body's pressure system. With a blend of theory and practice, gain tools to release tension, free up the spine, create effortless movement in your postures, and reconnect with your body through a new approach to activating the Pelvic Floor.

This workshop runs on a PAY WHAT YOU CAN basis with a €10 deposit to secure your place.

15/11/2024

This 20h course (16 contact hours + 4 hours of self-study) is made up of practice, discussion, exploration, theory, tools, online learning and reflection. As much as it is intended to be a learning opportunity to up-level your skills as a Yoga teacher and community facilitator, it also offers a chance to connect with your peers, to have important conversations, to receive support, to nourish your own nervous system, and to reflect on your personal growth.

This December, join me for Yoga for Building Resilience & Supporting Community. I’m running a special offer for this first edition.

✨ Intro Offer: €142.50 (Save 50%)—just for this first round!

You’ll get 5 live online workshops + integration call, lifetime access to materials, recordings of all classes, extra resources, three bonus 2h Sunday Yoga Immersion classes (recordings) and access to a private Facebook group for all my Yoga and Thai Massage students where I frequently share free content.

Polyvagal Theory provides a comprehensive view of our survival strategies, showing the full spectrum of responses that are orchestrated within us. It introduces the concept of an activation and deactivation curve, mapping out the various states our nervous system can move through, from alertness to calm, and the pathways in between. Through this, we gain a clearer understanding of how we shift between different states and what prompts these shifts, making it easier to track our own responses.

One concept I find especially fitting is the term Social Engagement System, which describes the state of feeling safe and connected. This isn’t merely a state of rest; it’s an orientation toward others, towards community and connection. It’s a reminder that our nervous system is always assessing safety, shaping how we interact with the world around us.

The next round of the Somatic Toolkit for a Resilient Nervous System will run in Lisbon, over seven Mondays starting on January 13th 2025.

Learn somatic practices to develop greater capacity for nervous system regulation, co-regulation and resilience, and the skills to create a more trauma-informed environment for your work. This toolkit will benefit you personally and professionally, so you can support yourself as well as your clients, and feel nourished by your work.

This 50h CPD training is for people working in a therapeutic or supporting profession, or in the field of social impact.

FIND ALL THE DETAILS HERE: https://www.littleyogaspacelisboa.com/somatic-toolkit.html

There are only 8 spaces available in total, and the EARLY BIRD offer ends TOMORROW, 15th of November. We hope you can join us!

There’s something truly transformative in the insights Polyvagal Theory offers us, not just as a scientific concept, but as a framework that changes how we understand our nervous system, our behaviours, and ultimately, our lives. Without diving too deep into the theory’s complexities, I'd like to share some powerful ideas it brings forward—concepts that feel especially resonant and valuable.

Polyvagal Theory shines a light on the importance of our earliest developmental years, inviting us to look at our childhoods through a new lens. Rather than merely being a time of rapid growth, these early years lay down essential patterns in our nervous system that shape our responses, resilience, and interactions throughout life. This is a reminder that how we respond to life isn't random; it’s rooted in profound, formative experiences.

Training in nervous system support and regulation tools is often missing from most Yoga programs today.

If you’ve noticed more students struggling with stress, anxiety, and overwhelm—and feel it’s stretching your capacity to hold space for them—join me in Yoga for Building Resilience & Supporting Community.

This 20-hour online training, designed for Yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners, offers a comprehensive introduction to working with the nervous system, bridging the gap so you can better support both yourself and your students. See you then!

06/11/2024

In this course, you’ll gain a solid understanding of the Autonomic Nervous System, including the Polyvagal Theory, and explore how it influences our daily experiences. You’ll learn about nervous system regulation, identifying signs of dysregulation, and how to support students with effective tools. Key skills include using verbal cues that foster interoception, creating safe spaces, and integrating resourcing tools into your sessions. Additionally, we’ll cover ways to promote community connection, ideas for outreach, and self-care practices to maintain healthy boundaries as a Yoga teacher.

Join us online on December 6th-8th to explore how to help your students (and yourself) feel more grounded, consistent, and empowered through Yoga.

When I was 13, I developed quite severe scoliosis, which meant having to wear an orthopaedic corset and doing a lot of physio-therapy throughout my teenage years. This was probably the beginning of my interest and curiosity in the human body and movement. I was managing just fine in my 20’s with regular Pilates and dance, however, around when I turned 30, I started to have a lot of discomfort particularly on my right side, and I needed regular massages to ease the pain.

Eventually I ended up seeing a cranial osteopath every single week for three months, which was getting very depressing. I was half-way through my Yoga Teacher Training back then, and luckily had experienced a few workshops on fascial release, had the odd encounter with non-dogmatic teachers, and somehow had the wisdom in my own body, that there was another way. I was about to start teaching Yoga, but nonetheless decided to turn my own personal practice up-side-down and to start again from square one. I took charge of my own wellbeing. Living in London at the time, it was a borderline miracle, that a Scaravelli inspired teacher was living literally around the corner from my house. The week I started having sessions with her, I never had to go back to the osteopath.

My body is now pain-free and my spine has become one of my greatest teachers over the years. But through my continued practice as well as deep study of Osteothai, I am also healing my emotional scars I carry from being stuck in a corset for three years, which I now understand was a quite traumatic experience and has left behind patterns in my body as well as the narrative of my stories.

The development of “The Language of the Body” is a very natural and direct conclusion of my own life story (as well as professional experience of course) and strongly believing that our bodies are designed to heal.

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
