Our Mission
EvaSion started back in 2013, when Eva’s teacher Itzhak Helman asked her to start teaching her own courses, as a way to expand the Thai Massage knowledge. Since then, It has evolved into a small collective of Thai Massage instructors, Yoga teachers, and outstanding individuals devoted to spreading the seeds of these ancient healing arts across the world and to inspire other people to follow their dreams.
We are aware that the world needs more consciousness and community values, more touch, more laughter, more compassion, more forgiveness..... These is what we aim to cultivate every time we gather in retreats and workshops, with the intention of sharing our Thai Massage & Yoga practice. We hold a safe space for your self exploration and the expression of your inner needs in a welcoming environment. We choose to do this in special venues that support the environment and their local communities and provide the perfect setting for such gathering.
We are activists for the world wellbeing
& you are welcomed to be a part of it!

OM MANI PADME HUM
I come from the mud. I reach towards the sky. In 2000 I had completed my university studies in Barcelona of Art History and I was looking outside of the mainstream “production - consumption” options to find and embrace my mission.
I became a full-time traveler and a passionate surfer. I lived in remote places such as Réunion Island, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Lombok and Australia. Yoga came into my life as I felt the need to take better care of my body, find emotional stability and grounding. I got my first certificate as Personal Fitness Trainer in Sydney in 2007, specializing in yoga and surfing. I also got certified as a Spa therapist in Bali in 2008, and worked in luxury spas in France.
In 2009 I experienced my first Thai Massage course in Lahu village, northern Thailand. I discovered that this practice combined my passions of yoga, meditation, and bodywork in a selfless way. I became a devoted student and practitioner.
I fell deeper into my Yoga practice and took a Yoga Teacher training certificate in Satyananda Ashram in India in 2010, where I learned more about meditation and the holistic way of life.
Since 2013, following the advice of my dear teacher and mentor Itzhak Helman, I started to share my love for Thai Massage in workshops and retreats in places such as Spain, Mexico, Los Angeles, Bali, Morocco, Panama.... and created EvaSion Thai Yoga, a platform for collaboration with other highly talented individuals and communities that share my vision.
I am passionate to keep on learning more about Thai Massage, Yoga, and also about all the different disciplines that inspire me: contact improvisation dance, clown, Wùo Taï, modern yoga, functional movement, non-violent communication, mindfulness... and through both the muddy and crystal clear waters I am following the endless path of being curious about this wonderful adventure called life.
Elisabeth Green
Osteopath, Physiotherapist, Thai Massage & Yoga Teacher
Co-teacher in the UNDER THE SKIN retreat in Gran Canaria.
How do we heal from physical and emotional pain, injuries, trauma? How are they connected?
This question was my starting point for what turns out to be a lifelong inquiry into medicine and holistic health.
Coming from my own background of pain and trauma, learning how I can heal myself taught me more about how I can be best equipped to help others heal themselves. This is how it all started, then the path brought me to where I am now:
Elisabeth currently lives and works in Vienna, where she maintains her own treatment center, working as an Osteopath and Thai Massage Therapist, giving treatments and Yoga classes, devoting herself to everything related to holistic health and mindfulness.
She first came into touch with Thai Massage in 2016 and this encounter forever changed her practice as a physiotherapist and yoga teacher. Feeling she found a holistic approach she was internally searching for, this practice brought together many aspects of healing she had previously dedicated herself to. She immediately felt the spark, the joy, the enthusiasm and started to dive deep into this ancient massage practice with her teachers Ithzak Helman, Pau Castellsague and Vangelis Varis as well as Krishnatakis Oekonomi, David Lutt and Felicity Joy. Meanwhile assisting some of them in their courses, and creating and sharing with others her own courses, giving many treatments in her everyday life, Thai Massage has become a beautiful and enriching part of her life ever since the first day.
Also in 2016, she started studying osteopathy in Vienna at the Wiener Schule für Osteopathie (Vienna School of Osteopathy), fulfilling her desire to gain as much knowledge as possible about the human body and approaching health from a scientific western perspective founded on anatomy and physiology. The philosophy and practice of osteopathy deeply influenced her practice and teachings throughout the last 5 years. In 2022 she will complete her studies in Vienna.
Other inspirations come from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, the sound of language, all kinds of movement, plants, and most of all the element of WATER: the ocean, waves, the rhythm of life.
