Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese healing art, based in the concepts of Chinese medicine, that incorporates stretching, medium to deep pressure techniques, rhythmic movements and the use of various body tools to create wonderfully relaxing and restorative massage. The objective of this basic 64-hour course is to familiarize students with traditional floor Shiatsu in prone, supine, side-lying and seated positions. Students will learn the meridians and the use of techniques to relieve stagnation and promote the free flow of qi (energy) in the body. Shiatsu is an extremely versatile modality, done over clothes, which can be practiced in virtually any setting. This class will prepare students to offer basic sessions and incorporate Shiatsu into their practice.

T/Th 9/10/13-12/19/13 (125 hours) 6:30-10pm plus 3 Saturday 10/5, 11/2, 12/14 - $1695
Advanced Shiatsu will take you deeper into this rich modality of Shiatsu. We will start to use the process of assessment to inform the decision making process, so that there is more intention behind the techniques, and we are moving toward a desired outcome. Start developing the palpation skill to sense excess and deficiency-Kyo and Jitsu-and learn how to open the body to a more balanced state. We will go into detailed verbal intake and use the 5-elements as a foundation.
