Zenthai Shiatsu

Certified Level 1 Trainings

The Level 1 training is a four-day immersion into the healing art of Zenthai Shiatsu - a holistic movement based therapy combining traditional Thai massage, Zen Shiatsu and Osteopathic techniques, all integrated together with focused intention at its core, creating a highly restorative and energising form of therapy.

In learning a full body 90-minute sequence, you’ll be introduced to practical tools and gain valuable knowledge on structural and energetic therapy. For the entire four days you’ll receive and practice technique, you will cultivate deep inner awareness and a more refined sense of touch. 

This class is well known as being far more than an immersion into a bodywork program.


Who this training is for

No prior experience in yoga or massage is required - The Level 1 training is open to everyone, and is especially relevant to:

Curious Individuals

A welcoming introduction to Zenthai Shiatsu, perfect for anyone exploring bodywork and is passionate and curious about this healing art.

Yoga students and teachers

Deepen your practice with embodied emotional and structural knowledge that can be shared with friends, hands-on students, or as the first step towards becoming a Zenthai Shiatsu therapist.

Bodyworkers and therapist

Expand your therapeutic presence and your toolbox with hands-on skills and a fresh perspective understanding energetics and structural therapy, that enrich your ability to support your clients.

Meet your Teacher

Pablo is a dedicated bodyworker, a Zenthai Shiatsu facilitator, and a holistic mentor. He is passionate about the transformation that becomes possible when we retreat together, and sees Zenthai Shiatsu as a gateway into more empowered and aligned ways of being.

His philosophy combines Eastern wisdom with Western psychological understanding and value system. He believes the mind to be primary, and that by working through the body we create the conditions for new patterns of thought, perception, and behaviour to emerge.

Pablo’s work aims to free the body from the tension and pain from past experiences so a true sense of ground can be found — a foundation from which individuals can build a meaningful life and positively impact the communities they belong to.

What will you get out of it?

Embodied Experience

Four immersive days of guided bodywork, connection and expression, where you’ll give and receive nourishing touch in a supportive environment.

Practical Knowledge

Learn the core principles and threads of Zenthai Shiatsu, blending structural and energetic wisdom for holistic healing.

Enhanced Sensory Awareness

Cultivate a deeper relationship to touch, presence and listening to the qualities of the subtle energetic body.

Personal Growth

Opportunities to reflect independently and within a like-minded community, unlocking deeper self-awareness and insight.

Professional Development

Enhance your skill set and connect with a network of practitioners as you will gain access to the global online community of Zenthai practitioners.

Comprehensive Learning Materials

Learn a 90-minute Zentai Shiatsu sequence, supported by a detailed training manual and video for continued practice.

Pablo has the most infectious warm smile and his devotion to the artful practice of Zenthai Shiatsu is world class.

On the level 1 training and A Way of Being retreat, Pablo had a delightful balance of playfulness and focus and I felt supported and held every step of the way.

I’m grateful to be guided and inspired by the insight and intelligence he shared from the heart. Pablo is a skilled, wise and beautiful facilitator, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
