OCTOBER 2-5
2025
Join our four-day introductory Zenthai Shiatsu training this October in Ojai at an incredible private location.
What is zen thai?
Zenthai is a flowing, seamless blend of Zen Shiatsu, Thai Massage and Osteopathic Techniques underpinned by the principles and techniques of yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Zenthai is a powerful therapy, its explorative nature makes this modality ever evolving, and its depth of healing always profound.
Zenthai is more than just a practice. It is a journey of self-discovery, strengthening, letting go and being fully embraced by a beautiful, conscious community.
WHO IS THE TRAINING FOR?
All are welcome to join this training - if you would love to deepen your awareness and relationship to touch and healing - if you desire tools to share with friends and family - if you’re interested in bodywork and/or basic Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, or if you currently practice bodywork and want to explore another modality - if you’d like to explore movement as expression and movement as connection - this course is incredible for yoga teachers, wanting to add more facilitating tools to their belt - and no matter what age you are, no matter what background, this is a chance to unplug and deepen your capacity to listen.

Meet your teacherS
Rosie Santos, an Australian native, has been sharing the art of Zenthai with the Ojai Valley since she moved here in 2023. She is a seeker of spaciousness and poetry in the human body. Rosie sees Zenthai not only as a method for opening one’s capacity for deep rest, but as a method of authentic connection, movement and repatterning the nervous system.
Brad David, born and raised in Ojai, studied Zenthai in Australia and currently practices Anatomy Trains Structural Integration. His bodywork practice as well as his personal practice, is humbled by the ineffable qualities of our energetic and fascial systems. To take Zenthai back home to Ojai is both medicine and play.
