| The
meeting with Asokananda encouraged Itzhak to study further with him and in the
same year he participated as his student in one of his Thai yoga massage courses
held in Chiangmai, Thailand.
From that point the ball started rolling
and Itzhak's experience in Thai Yoga massage includes: learning with other masters
like Piched and Chaiyuth, and participating in a large number of
courses as a student / assistant.
At the end of 1997 Itzhak made his
way to the East of Thailand and was ordained as a short-term monk. There he
was asked by many of the monks to practice his art of massage on them.
After a month he accepted an invitation from Asokananda to establish the Sunshine
house in Calcutta where he taught yoga and gave massage. In 1998 he went back
to Thailand and stayed for 6 months in Asokananda's ashram where he deepened
his studies.
From 1999 Itzhak was authorized by Asokananda to teach
Thai yoga massage on a regular basis at the Sunshine network in Chiangmai Thailand.
Since then Itzhak has given more then 100 courses, both for beginners and advanced
practitioners.
In 2001 Quiet healing centre in Auroville, India,
invited Itzhak to give a course for therapists at the Quiet healing centre. The experience in Quiet together with the strong connection to Auroville
made him decide to make Auroville a home for 4 years (2001 to 2005). During those years, in addition to teaching at the Sunshine Network, Thailand, Itzhak has trained many students in Auroville as well as continuing to work as a practitioner.
These days (2006) Itzhak established himself in Europe, especially in England. He is teaching Thai Yoga Massage around the world including places like: India, Thailand, Mexico, Spain, France, Sweden, Germany, England.
