Zenthai Yoga Massage Workshop
with Yoo

“A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind” ~ Lao-Tzu

 

 

A fully clothed floor-mat bodywork practice. Zenthai Shiatsu is a movement-based therapy that brings Thai massage, Zen Shiatsu, 5 elements theory of Chinese Medicine and Osteopathic techniques weaved together, with mindfulness at the core. Imagine you are doing nothing but sweet surrender in your yoga.

 

 

The Five Elements are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Theory of Chinese philosophy is used to describe interactions and relationships between things. It reminds us how everything is closely interconnected, our body, emotions, and nature. Once we start to see the dance of the elements in our body, our emotions, and everything else; as Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes, “When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything”; we can connect to the deeper layers of ourselves.

- Anyone who like to connect to their body and move safely
