Description:
Would you like to include some basic Eastern massage into the treatments you already perform? Would you like to enhance your treatments with an improved understanding of Eastern theory? Bring an enhanced energetic balance to your work?
In this 2 day class practitioners will learn the basics of 5 Element Shiatsu and gain a working understanding of the traditional Chinese medicine concepts behind this form of bodywork. We will discuss concepts of Qi, yin and yang and review the primary twelve meridians. By the end of the two days practitioners will have learned an hour long treatment or kata that can be performed on a client as well as specific energetic points that can be blended into any type of massage session. You will also leave with basic exercises you can perform for self care or give to clients to enhance energetic balance.
Come review what you learned in school but may have left behind or just come to enhance Eastern skills you already have.
