Zenthai Shiatsu
Zenthai is a blend of yoga Asana, Thai massage, Zen Shiatsu and Osteopathic techniques integrated and woven together with focused intention at its core. A lot of the gestures have been inspired by martial arts, shifting the intention to healing.
Zen Thai has evolved to be widely recognised as a profound structural and energetic therapy. Sessions are tailored to individual needs with an aligned focus on treating relevant issues of the musculoskeletal, digestive and nervous system.
Benefits include calming the nervous system, pain relief, joint mobilisation, improved digestion, boosting immunity and increasing energy. Sessions happen on a mat on the floor and you remain fully clothed. They are followed by specific diet and lifestyle advice, as well as custom stretches that will help you maintain your open state in the long term.

Flying Therapy
The yin side of AcroYoga allows us to slow down and cultivate the art of trust, conscious touch and the capacity to let go completely. With the use of gravity, body weight and harmonics this form of therapy allows a unique conversation with the power to realign and release.
Flying therapeutics improves oxygen flow to the brain, circulation, posture, lymphatic drainage, hormonal responses. Clients do not receive the rush of blood to the head that many participants of other types of inversion therapy experience. This is because the client has their knees bent during the massage, and the practitioner's feet are pressed against the major artery in the lower body, the femoral artery. This slows the blood flow returning to the head, resulting in a sense of calm, and a temporary reduction in brain activity.

Pregnancy Zenthai
Pregnancy is one of the best times for a Zenthai treatment, benefiting both you and your baby. Here we use peaceful, flowing movements and stretches that will support mother and baby in welcoming growth and transformation. With its holistic approach pregnancy Zenthai aims to balance the nervous system, increase the lung capacity, support blood health and distribution of Qi.
Incorporated into a routine, Zenthai can greatly improve the overall wellness during pregnancy and bring relief to a great array of symptoms related to changes of the musculoskeletal system. The ideal time to start a prenatal zenthai regiment is the second trimester through the end of the third trimester, when energy levels are starting to decrease and uncomfortability increases.
This treatment takes place in a side position on the mat utilising cushion supports under the belly, the legs, the arms and the head.
“Our fluid body is a magical place, where it can feel like we slip, slide and move from within, without any thought or effort. Our fluid body is a realm of bliss. We feel as if we are a drop of water in a vast and deep ocean.
Our inner fluid realm is important for optimal health. It is a place of no resistance. Our tensions simply dissolve and melt back into the ground of our body. It is a place of inner freedom where fear, anxiety, and tension have no lasting hold on us. Staying in the deep waters of not knowing, without the impulse to action, allows the fullest transformation from potential to manifest.”
