Nabil El Barrage

🌿What is the language of the body when it becomes a prayer? What is the embrace of healing when the breath leads the rhythm? Nabil El Barrage walks the path of embodied wisdom. He weaves together the discipline of yoga, the fluidity of dance, and the alchemy of healing touch. In Psy Flow Yoga, movement becomes prayer. In Thai Massage Plus, touch becomes ceremony. A teacher who merges technique, sensitivity, and presence — with a body that listens and a soul that sees. --- Nabil El Barrage works as a Yoga instructor and Thai massage therapist. His lessons are based on YogaWorks, a system that combines three techniques: Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga. He uses as well elements from Tai Chi and Qi Gong. His sessions apart from the basic principles of traditional Thai massage, include techniques from Shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage, Osteopathy and Reflexology. Βorn in Athens, Greece in 1982. At an early age he came into contact with sports specifically with gymnastics and basketball. He then played football at a semi-professional level for several years. In 2009 he followed his passion for dance. Classical ballet, contemporary, improvisation and Japanese butoh technique are the dancing fields where he has been trained. Since 2010, he has been a member of the dance theater group Akropoditi, based in Syros. Apart from dancing in 2009 he was introduced into Yoga and the holistic therapy world. Observing in the practice of yoga its highly refined, subtle way of transforming the body and how its benefits work beneficially on all levels, the desire to teach is born. In 2013 he received his certification (200h YTT Yoga Alliance) as a yoga teacher, from his trainer Anna Zorzou in YogaWorks system. Then for three years he apprenticed with senior instructor Timo Himenez, delving into the traditional practice of Ashtanga and at the same time trained in Prenatal yoga. Teaching still intrigued him therefore in 2018 he completed the 1st level of training program Yoga for kids at Flower Kids Yoga, with Christina Matsi. He is grateful that traditional Thai massage enriched his life in 2013 and he had the opportunity to train under the guidance of Till Heeg and his team at Sunshine house. He has been devoted to it ever since. He is constantly evolving by studying and attending various courses and workshops, while simultaneously teaching and training.
