ZENTHAI SHIATSU AND FOUNDER GWYN WILLIAMS

Gwyn Williams looks like a man straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean, the sea connection works since he is an avid surfer, otherwise, you will not believe that he is a gentle Australian man maintaining a thriving yoga, healing and teaching practice in Queensland Australia and around Asia. 

Founder of Zen Thai Shiatsu and the Mt Ninderry healing centre in 1999, read more about Zenthai Shiatsu here , Gwyn spent much of his life understanding the mechanics and physiology of the body and qi, first as a physical education teacher, then as a martial arts instructor and later as a yoga teacher. His immersion in physicality and energy has given him an  intuitive grasp of the body which he skilfully, fluidly and poetically conveys to his clients and students. 

Such instructors are few and rare to come by. This is time and again reflected in his classes and his book, The Zen of Touch (below).
Gwyn is much in demand nationally and internationally for his deep understanding of bodywork, movement and awareness. He runs a range of courses and retreats varying from 2 hour workshops to 12 month programs throughout the year.

The beautiful book illustrated with photographs on every page is as deep as it is beautiful. Gwyn does not give you the textbook standard definitions as he explains  elemental theory, anatomy, zen principles and Thai techniques.
