Practice Days

The Lomi practice days are similar to workshops and take place in small groups of max. 6-9 participants (depending on the workshop) under the direction of Florian Pfitzner with the support of an assistant. Here we focus intensively on one aspect of the training. The focus is on the technical execution of the Lomi, without forgetting the emotional part.

Fine tuning

(from Module 1)

In this workshop, we want to devote ourselves entirely to ‘maintaining our tools’. By ‘tools’, we mean the various techniques. These convey the love that defines Lomi.

Precision can create clarity, and clarity helps us when we want to go deeper. In short: good, sharp ‘tools’ make the work easier. That's why we focus on fine tuning.

You can choose two techniques per page. Perhaps because you find them difficult, want to explore them further or simply want to put the finishing touches on them. In any case, Flo will be there to support you and help you find the path that is right for you.

contact & trust

(from Module 1)

In this workshop, I would like to create a space with you in which we can immerse ourselves in deep and lasting contact with a spirit of exploration. We will practise establishing and maintaining connection.

We will use the power of breath to move from our heads into our bodies, which anchor us firmly in the here and now, even in intense situations.

For one day, we will leave the past and future aside in order to remain fully in the moment. Because only in the moment can we be in contact, which creates the trust in which Lomi can unfold its full effect.

depth

(from Module 1)

In this workshop, I would like to go into depth with you in the truest sense of the word.
We will practise using our own body weight in a controlled manner during massage in order to utilise our range of touch from the uppermost layer of skin through the fascial tissue to the depths of the muscles. With playful curiosity, we can dispel the fear of pain and invite a relaxing sense of well-being.

Simple techniques from traditional Thai massage will support us on our way to an intense Lomi. All this is done with loving mindfulness and a childlike spirit of discovery.

Whale

(from Module 2)

The whale is one of the most important but also most challenging techniques in our Lomi ‘toolbox’. Numerous variations can be derived from it. Because of its complexity and diversity, I am happy to devote an entire day to the whale.

In this workshop, we will take plenty of time to dive deep into the whale. The first half of the day will focus entirely on the basic form, while in the second half we will play with variations.

Rotations

(from Module 3)

We will repeat and practise all the turns you have learned so far in detail. In addition, you will learn variations and develop individual adjustments that you can apply specifically to different body types.

As a special bonus, we will demonstrate and practise further turns, and we may even develop some completely new ones together.

Lomi in Motion: Joy of play

(from Module 4)

In this workshop, we will take plenty of time to dive deep into the whale. The first half of the day will focus entirely on the basic form, while in the second half we will play with variations.

Hello, I'm Flo.

In 2018, I started my Lomi training with Anja and Jana and enthusiastically completed all the modules in one go. Well equipped with Lomi knowledge, I decided in 2020 to expand my skills with Thai massage training. This was very informative, but it didn't touch me as deeply as Lomi did.

Back in Berlin, I repeated two modules of the Lomi training course. Thanks to Anja and Jana's continuous further training, these had developed remarkably.

Afterwards, Anja and Jana repeatedly asked me if I would like to assist. At the time, I didn't think I was capable of doing so. But during the Ohana Week 2021, I was able to develop the necessary self-confidence and finally said yes.

Since then, I have assisted in pretty much every module and have been training to become a Lomi teacher since 2022. In addition, I have started to develop and offer my own practice days/workshops under the umbrella of Lomi Ausbildung Berlin. Here, I incorporate my personal touch and happily pass on what has helped me in my own learning process.

Lomi has changed my life. It has helped me grow both internally and externally. I have discovered depth, joy and peace within myself where there was often chaos before. It flows through and shapes my life, not only as a massage, but as a philosophy.
