PHILOSOPHY
Ilka Müller-Patham
The first step you do, leads you the way. In front of you, a life full of learning, happiness, and well-being – for your body and soul. Let me be with you along your way.
In my work as a yoga and bodywork practitioner and teacher, I focus on a holistic approach. Every being has its own sufferings and struggles. We will together find the right treatment and practice for you. It's a lifetime of learning and we will go side by side. Let me hold your hand.
In my holistic approach every session is created to the clients needs, touching the physical, energetic and emotional body.
Learning never stops. Currently, I live in Goa, India, teaching and practicing in India and Europe.

Thai Yoga Massage &Bodywork
WHAT DO I TEACH?
THAI YOGA MASSAGE
Thai Yoga Massage (in Thai: Nuad Boran) is a unique healing art which is centuries old and combines techniques and principles of Yoga, Acupressure and Thai Traditional Medicine.
A treatment of Thai Yoga Massage has many benefits only a few will be mentioned here:
It helps to boost your immune system and detoxifies your body, works on your blood pressure, helps your muscles to relax and increases muscle flexibility and general mobility. It increases your breathing ability and helps you against anxiety and stress.
With Thai Yoga Massage we can improve your alignment and the body appearance. It helps to slower the aging process and balances mind and body. It is very good for physical treatment of tight fascia, painful joints and tight muscle bands and knots. It has the ability to open your inner and outer energy lines and boosts you from inside and outside. More information on this here.
In my practice Loving Kindness (Metta in Buddhist spirituality) plays a vital role. Practitioner and receiver connect on a very deep compassionate level. So it becomes a healing practice for both participants. If you want to learn this style of bodywork have a look at my courses.
Next to Thai Yoga Massage, I offer Acupressure, Reflexology and Spiritual Guidance through mediation. Get in contact to receive more information.
MY KNOWLEDGE AND HEALING ART
Over the years of bodywork and Yoga practice I developed a unique skill set of different massage and bodywork styles and techniques as well as deep knowledge of the physical and nonphysical human body. I studied with different senior masters in India and Thailand. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge and love for the healing arts with you. Book your treatment or course with me and dive deeper into your journey of helping and healing others and yourself.

MY TEACHINGS
My style of Yoga is a combination of Hatha and restorative Iyengar combined with Pilates and the learnings from my own physical/spiritual practice. I believe that anybody is able to heal and to be able to lead a healthy and happy life with the right guidance and help. In my classes we use props so that even with certain health issues you will be able to feel the effects of Yoga. Breathing and inner guidance is a strong foundation of my classes.

Radhika, India
Ilka has an incredibly calming energy. I credit her with helping me to truly understand the value yoga brings to my life.
Ulrich und Elke Müller, Germany
"Danke!!
Endlich werden meine Rückenbeschwerden besser und auch meine Atmung ist mir viel bewusster geworden..."
"Aufgestanden: ich: nein, jetzt Yoga?
Atmen, bewegen, entspannen puuuuuuh
Nach der Stunde: entspannt! besser atmen! einfach ein gutes Gefühl!"
Pia, India
I’ve pretty much spent my whole adult life searching for the perfect massage, or perhaps the perfect masseuse. Someone in whose presence I can feel safe and held - and destiny lead me to Ilka ...
The massage was just the right balance of pressure and gentleness and she knows intuitively how to get to those knots!
Shanto, India
“A Healing Touch”
I... It was a healing journey for me and much more than just physical work. She is intuitive and responsive to the needs of the body and emotions.
