Workshop 2: Zenthai Shiatsu & The Wood Element

$85.00

Explore the art of mindful touch through the lens of the Wood Element in Chinese Medicine—a symbol of growth, resilience, adaptability, and purposeful movement. In this immersive workshop with James Hancox from Shiatsu Do, you'll experience how Zenthai Bodywork can support greater freedom, balance, and connection within the body.

Zenthai Bodywork is a holistic modality that blends the energetic principles of Zen Shiatsu, the flowing movement of Thai Yoga Massage, and contemporary musculoskeletal techniques to support physical, emotional, mental, and energetic wellbeing.

Together we'll begin by awakening the Wood Element through dynamic Qi Gong and mindful movement before exploring the Liver and Gallbladder meridians and their associated acupressure points. Through guided partner work, you'll learn Wood-inspired Zenthai techniques that create space, encourage mobility, and support the body's natural ability to release tension and move with ease.

WHEN: Sunday September 6th 2026 - 11am-1.30pm
