shiatsu c1 - Basic + meridians 2018 in Johannesburg South Africa
For the first time the Shiatsu Academy will offer the complete Cycle 1 training in South Africa - Johannesburg.
What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a physical therapy that supports and strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself. It works on the whole person - not just with the physical body, but also with the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of being.
Shiatsu originated in Japan from traditional Chinese medicine, with influences from more recent Western therapies. Although shiatsu means ‘finger pressure’ in Japanese, in practice a practitioner uses touch, comfortable pressure and manipulative techniques to adjust the body’s physical structure and balance its energy flow. Shiatsu is deeply relaxing and can alleviate stress related discomforts, help to maintain health and improve well-being.
Why learn Shiatsu?
About the Shiatsu Course
The course starts with learning a complete basic shiatsu treatment, followed with the application of the shiatsu techniques on the 12 meridians or life channels.
We study the Yin/Yang principles and the 5 transformations (Water – Wood – Fire – Earth – Metal), the main functions of the 12 meridians and natural nutrition.
Besides Shiatsu you also learn specific Yoga and Chi Kung exercises, simple meditations and communication techniques.
After Cycle 1 of this Shiatsu training you will be able to give a complete shiatsu treatment, select the best meridians to obtain more harmony and relaxation in the body and energy system of the receivers. You will have a good understanding of the yin and yang polarity and the system of the 5 elements. You will also be able to support yourself (and others) with self-treatment, meditation, exercises and natural nutrition.
This training is open for beginners, no prerequisites, and also for those who have already experience with bodywork and want to expand their practice with Shiatsu.
