About us
Xavier HLAVACEK
Founder of "Le Lotus Blanc®", Instructor and Registered Thai Therapist, Xavier began to study martial arts when he was 8 years old and has been studying Karate-Do during 10 years, as well as an interest in yoga. As a teenager, he met many people involved in the esoteric world and spiritual practices, so all these conditions led him to get more and more interest for energetic practices.
In 1998 he became interested in Chinese internal arts such as Qi Gong and Tai Ji Quan which he has been teaching during 9 years in Poitiers, France. In the early 2000 years he discovered the traditional massage techniques and became enthusiastic about Korean Relaxation and Traditional Thai Massage. Since his first journey to Thailand in August 2006 and his meeting with ″Coocky″ Tassanee Boonsom, he is mainly specialising in the practice and teaching of Traditional Thai Massage as well as in Abdominal Detox Massage, also known as Chi Nei Tsang. There he attended several schools internationally renowned such as the Old Medicine Hospital, Sunshine Massage School and of course LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga.
Between 2008 and 2014 Xavier mainly lived in Chiang Mai where he co-directed LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga with Coocky and taught there to many students coming from different countries. During that time, he has also completed several courses of Osteothai with David Lutt, and has begun to study Kundalini Yoga with Siri Shabad Singh.
