What does it mean to truly listen to the body… to sit with the inquiry “what is life asking of me?” 🌿

That’s the question the 2026 Zenthai Class has been tuning into at the Shed Dojo here in Victoria. We are officially two modules into our 9-month therapist training, and we’ve just wrapped up our first Elements class.
In Element 1, we shift our focus from just physical touch to deep, energetic alignment.
Through exploring and embodying 5 Elements, we bring the macrocosm of nature into our own being.
We look at diagnostic tools, how the tongue and pulse provide maps of stories held in our bodies.
We learn how to support true harmony and flow using meridians and acu points.

These photos capture the essence of our weekend… moments of deep stillness, dynamic movement, and the beautiful, supportive community we are building.

It’s an honour to be walking (and crawling on the mats!) alongside these beautiful souls.

A Love Letter from the Mountain ⛰️
It’s been two weeks since we wrapped up the Zenthai leadership training at Mt Ninderry, and my heart is still vibrating with the bhav we tapped into together.

At Ninderry, the land is alive… filled with the scent of crushed eucalyptus, the meditative flow of yoga and Qi Gong, the grounding dance of the bodywork… the bursts of laughter, heart felt sharings and hum of story telling weaving through the trees and along the creek.
To the students who showed up with such open hearts, thank you for the dance. 👐✨

I’ve been struck by a profound sense of full circle. It hit me that I’ve been alongside in this teaching space for ten years now. There is something deeply moving about returning to the mountain and feeling the weight of a decade’s cycle… the way we’ve evolved, yet remained rooted in the same pulse of the work.
Witnessing new and seasoned leaders emerge in the same place where we have both poured and sparked so much inspiration over the last ten years feels like a completion and a beginning all at once. Master Gwynny .. beloved teacher and trusted friend.. thank you for being such a steadfast companion in this work. It’s a true honor to share the mat, the teachings, and the mountain with you.

Thanks .natural.therapies and for gracefully supporting the container 🙇‍♀️

Thanks for the music 🙌🏽
And for the postcard captures 📸

“Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”
— Leonard Cohen

When we bring the illumination of our loving awareness to the “cracks” - our broken parts become pathways for growth and wisdom.

like Kintsugi…. mended with gold. The light doesn’t just “get in” through the cracks… it stays there and glows.

Thanks for capturing this snippet of story time by the fire at Ninderry 🎥 🔥 ⛰️

5 Zenthai-inspired acupoints for the season of exhaustion and over-stimulation. 🌿

From our Zenthai Shiatsu practice we know that exhaustion isn’t just “tiredness”—it’s a depletion of Qi and often an overloading of the Liver and Kidney meridians. As parents, with teething baby, running a business and travelling a lot, hosting groups for trainings and retreats, we’ve gathered some great simple tools to support our nervous system - especially when the sleep dep is hitting hard 😮‍💨

Here are 5 points you can use on yourself, and share with your people, to create a little space and support in a weary body:

Slide 2: BUBBLING SPRING
Kidney 1 (Yongquan).
When life is loud and your head is spinning, press the center of your sole. It pulls your energy out of the “clouds” and back into the Earth. 🌏

Slide 3: GREAT SURGE
Liver 3 (Taichong).
*contraindicated in pregnancy*
For the “short fuse” days. This point moves stagnant Qi. If you feel stuck or frustrated, massage this valley between your big and second toe. 🌊

Slide 4: 3 MILE POINT
Stomach 36 (Zusanli).
Your “extra mile” point. When you’re running on empty, this builds your digestive fire and physical vitality. 🔋

Slide 5: INNER PASS
Pericardium 6 (Neiguan).
The nervous system reset. Hold this point on your inner wrist to soften the chest and calm a racing heart. 💓

Almost a decade of sharing this 4 day foundational Zenthai Course 🙌🏽 And I’m in love with the offering more than ever!
Witnessing group after group rise up and deepen their connection through healing touch and courageous hearts… can’t wait to share this one - our first workshop for 2026. Last chance to book your place 🫶🏼

The Zenthai container is about exploring exceptional body work technique, and so much more…
The offering is three-fold..

Weaving elements of:

Yoga Asana
Zen Shiatsu (Japan/TCM)
Traditional Thai massage
Osteopathic techniques

2. OPEN-HEARTED COMMUNITY
Tapping into the colours and richness that an open-hearted community can offer when we devote four days of our time to being together.

The widening of perspective. There is an encouragement to quieten, to question and to grieve the old stories you no longer need. Nothing is as it seems – everything is the way you see it!

6 years ago we decided to build a space to run Zenthai courses from in VIC. Dad’s shed underwent a huge transformation with the help of , and Sally’s Dad and brothers. A whole lot of love and intention has been built into that space now known as the “Shed Dojo” 🫶🏼

Look at us in these pics! Yuta and I before birthing our babies, and we looked like babies ourselves!

So grateful to all who have been a part of the Shed Dojo, those who have built and nurtured the space, those who have visited as students, teachers… the love filled memories that are left behind are deeply cherished by us.
We are so looking forward to our 2026 chapter with the Shed Dojo 🥰 Who’s joining us for some magic this year?
