Welcome to be immersed into the healing part of the AcroYoga practices with Pau and Gabi!
Fill up your cup of being held and celebrating community! The Osteo Fly Retreat focuses on the healing, relaxing and rejuvenating practices of Thai-Yoga Massage, Osteopathy and Therapeutic Flying.
Come join us on the journey of true listening, diving deep into the art of touch down on the ground and up in the air.
In preparation for the dance of Thai Yoga Massage, embodied AcroYoga Therapeutics teaches the basic body mechanics with a focus on cultivation of self-love. Pau has just completed a 5 year Osteopathy program and he is adding beautiful techniques to go deeper into releasing tension and freeing up more life energy in body and spirit!
The techniques learned on the floor are then translated to the flying work, using the element of gravity to amplify the healing flow of prana (life force). Often, we will work in teams of three for safety and support, and everyone will have the opportunity to base and fly, heal and be healed.
This training offers invaluable tools for yoga teachers, massage therapists, and energy workers who wish to develop a new dimension of healing touch for students or clients.
“This is where the magic happens – together, with open hearts in beautiful nature.”

TEACHER’S BIO
Pau Castellsague
I started my spiritual journey in 2005 with a family trip to India that became eye-opening. Soon later I quit my job as a sports commentator and jumped on a second flight to India… and the journey began. Together with my sister Mireia and my brother Wari we launched the Omshanti Yoga Studio (2006) and, later on, the Barcelona Yoga Conference (2011). The path has been blessed with lessons and many inspiring friends. My first Yoga teacher from the mountains (Soma), he opened the doors. The AcroYoga founders Jason Nemer and Jenny Sauer-Klein… with them, we went on a worldwide misión to make everybody FLY and Connect. Thai Massage was like a homey feeling from the start (2007) and at the end of the day, the one practice that stole my heart 🙂
I have been blessed with amazing Thai Massage teachers, each of them with unique qualities. The calmness of Hironori Ikeda, the dedication and determination of Laurino Bertelli, the purity and endurance of Dayalu, the brilliance of the OsteoThai founders David Lutt & Arno L’Hermitte, the humbleness and strong roots of Itzhak Helman, the unseen world revealed by Kaline Alayna-Kelly, and the Sangha spirit, generosity and joy from KrishnaTakis and Kerys at the Sunshine House in Evia, Greece.
At the moment, I am engaged in a 5-year Osteopathy program at SICO (Switzerland), and it’s blowing my mind.
And one last thing… I LOVE to sing to Krishna 🙂
