A practical afternoon workshop to dive into the wonderful world of Shiatsu Massage for Relaxation and Healing.
Shiatsu is a Japanese therapy in which manual (hand) pressure is applied to certain points on the body to work on the body energy (qi/meridians). We will learn pressure techniques, stretches, holding, joint mobilizations and rocking, as to affect the physical and emotional well-being. Unlike western massage, and similarly to Acupuncture, Shiatsu also works with the body's Qi (Chi) - energy.
In this workshop, we will learn the basic principles of Shiatsu and understand how Shiatsu works by both feeling (receiving) and doing (giving). We will work individually, as well as in pairs on floor mats, learning some shiatsu for Self-relaxation as well as short-routines to share with your friend and family.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to give extremely relaxing short shiatsu treatments . Participants will also receive printed notes with all of the Acupressure points learnt for Self-Relaxation including photos, effects and explanations.
The workshop run by Francesco Benvenuti and Jenny White, both experienced Shiatsu practitioners in Edinburgh.
