Join Anjuli and Alok for an incredible opportunity to study the practice of ZenThai Massage and develop your sensitivity and awareness through touch. Dive into the world of ZenThai Massage with experienced practitioners Alok and Anjuli, who have over 30 years of combined experience as therapists and teachers. Their welcoming and supportive approach helps students feel secure and empowered as they hone their healing touch skills. Join them for a rewarding day of exchanging deeply nourishing bodywork and gaining the tools and guidance needed to further refine your own practice.
Anjuli & Alok have traveled the globe, studying under esteemed master teachers and crafting their unique style of bodywork. During this daylong immersion, they'll share their ZenThai practice, blending Thai Massage and Shiatsu techniques passed down by their mentor Gwyn Williams from Australia. Rooted in Thai Medicine and Buddhist Zen philosophy, their approach emphasizes respect, balance, and compassion. They'll also cover Chinese Meridians and specific acupressure points, enriching the practice even further.
ZenThai Shiatsu is an exceptional therapeutic technique that incorporates joint mobilization, mindful passive stretching, acupressure, and a focus on breath.. With proper body mechanics, the practice truly becomes an effortless dance between giver and receiver. As yogis themselves, your teachers will be emphasizing the most fluid and easeful ways to offer compressions and stretching in this course, encouraging the giver to stay present with the receiver’s experience.
This training welcomes everyone, whether you're a yoga teacher, massage therapist, or simply interested in well-being and bodywork. You'll wear comfortable clothing and work on a mat. The aim of effective bodywork is to enhance sensitivity and intuition, focusing on the client's experience while caring for our own bodies. You'll have the chance to practice both giving and receiving throughout the weekend, regardless of prior yoga or massage experience. Feel free to come alone or with a friend—no partner required.
In addition to all that you will learn during the immersion, you’ll also receive a complete manual, videos, and have access to our alumni group where you can continue to practice with an active community.
Come with a friend or solo - no partner needed.
