Myofascial Energetic Release
Deep, sensitive bodywork that meets the body through fascia, breath and presence, learned step by step in a supportive group.
Slow, attentive touch
MER® was developed by Satyarthi Peloquin, who has taught bodywork for decades. It combines slow, attentive touch through the layers of connective tissue (fascia) with myofascial unwinding, assisted stretches, joint mobilisation, conscious breathing and gentle verbal guidance.
The person receiving takes an active part: they breathe, notice and give feedback, while the practitioner adjusts the pressure to what feels right. Meditation runs through the whole training as a way of working with calm presence.

- Original Face · Face, Cranium, Neck, Arms & Vagus NerveThis module works with the face, cranium, neck, arms and the vagus nerve — the upper body as a whole.

Open to bodyworkers, massage practitioners, osteopaths, movement practitioners and yoga teachers, and to anyone wanting to improve mobility and understand fascia.2029 · dates TBC
- Trauma Release · Breath, Fascia & Emotional ReleaseThis module explores how physical tension and emotional holding patterns are held in the fascia, and how to support their release through deep touch, breath and movement. You practise myofascial unwinding, staying present with emotional expression, and working with the body's natural capacity for self-regulation — without forcing change.

In their words
What MER® students say about the training.
“A lot of tension was relieved, and the massages — whether done by the participants or by Nisarga — were just amazing! By day 5, the mobility in my legs had improved far beyond what I ever expected. So much so that I even did a split that same night! My previously frozen arms felt much lighter as well. All the knowledge we gained was incredibly useful.”
“Thanks to the hands-on approach over several days, it was a highly productive and enjoyable experience. I also really enjoyed the morning program, which included shaking, morning meditation and dance movements. These are practices I'm going to continue from now on. The generally relaxed atmosphere was something I truly appreciated.”
“During the MER® training with Nisarga, I particularly enjoyed the sense of community, the teaching style and the excellent anatomy explanations. It was a great training experience. I learned a lot of new skills and gained deeper self-awareness.”
“When I signed up for the training with Nisarga, I was seeking quality bodywork, intimacy and the opportunity to work with touch. During the training, I realized how much I miss physical touch with other humans in my life. I loved the connection and the chance to experience different types of people through massage exchanges. It was a fascinating journey.”
“In the MER® training with Nisarga, I developed new skills that align with my dream of becoming a body-oriented practitioner. I'm especially thankful for learning about fascia and the power of touch. I also appreciated the structure of each day — it was such a great experience.”
“It was an excellent training with a positive, supportive team and teacher. This was my second MER® training, as I wanted to enhance my skills further, and I'm very happy with everything I gained in those six days with Nisarga.”
