*IN STUDIO WORKSHOP* at 2807 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705 Join Anjuli and Alok for an incredible opportunity to study the art of Thai Massage and develop your sensitivity and awareness through touch.
Immerse in the art of ZenThai Massage with seasoned bodywork practitioners and yoga teachers Alok and Anjuli bringing over 25 years of combined experience as therapists and teachers. They love to support their students in gaining more confidence and fluidity in their healing touch. Join them for an enriching day of giving and receiving deeply nourishing bodywork as well as the tools and structure to continue developing your own practice.
Anjuli & Alok's passion for the healing arts has taken them around the world to study with renowned, master teachers and develop their own integrated style of bodywork. In this daylong immersion, they will be teaching their ZenThai practice which weaves together Thai Massage and Shiatsu techniques created by their beloved mentor Gwyn Williams from Australia. Rooted in the principles of Thai Medicine and Buddhist spirituality, the practice is framed by respect for all beings, balanced action, and loving-kindness. Attention to the Chinese Meridians and specific acupressure points will be included.
Through joint mobilization, mindful passive stretching, acupressure, and emphasis on the breath, ZenThai Shiatsu is an unparalleled therapeutic technique. 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 allowing the giver to stay present with the receiver’s experience.
This training is open to everyone. It is a great skill set for yoga teachers, massage therapists or for anyone interested in well-being and bodywork. The work is done in comfortable clothing on a mat. The goal of all good bodywork is to deepen our sensitivity and intuition, prioritizing the client’s journey while taking care of our body as well. You will get the opportunity to practice both roles throughout the weekend. No prior yoga or massage experience is necessary. Come with a friend or solo – no partner needed.
In this course you will learn:
How to cultivate energy and develop sensitivity
How to use your full body and weight for effective and deep massage
Bio-mechanics to give a massage with the least effort
Thai Yoga moves to adjust, balance and correct yoga postures
Basic principles of Chinese Meridians and Acupressure points
