| ||||
| Agnes Deglon, Shiatsu Instructor | 12 hours/CEUs | ||||
| SHIATSU September 11-12, 2010 1. Introduction to Shiatsu and Do-In Shiatsu is a form of traditional Japanese body work which equilibrates the Qi in the human body by applying pressure on the meridians using thumbs, palms of the hands, elbows and knees. Natural body weight is used when pressure is applied on special points on the body. Shiatsu literally means finger pressure. Clients are fully dressed (please bring comfortable loose clothes) for the session. Shiatsu is practiced on a futon on the floor, therefore, practitioners need to be in good health and especially have healthy knees. Do-in is a combination of meridian stretching exercises, breathing exercises, Qi exercises and self massage. Practicing Do-In is a great way to become aware of your own energy, improve your flexibility and a useful way of self treatment. Meditation is an important practice for shiatsu practitioners. The practitioner needs to be centered in his/her own space before being able to help and guide the client to rebalance his energy. This first weekend we will be working on our own energy, balance, flexibility, movements. There will be exercises to practice - smoothly moving around the client, - control of our own balance, - progressive, adapted pressure using our body weight - touching skills We will be working on a general outline covering the whole body allowing the student to give a full general relaxation session after this weekend. Agnes come to Five Brances University after studying over 1,000 hours of Shiatsu from the Namikoshi Shiatsu School in Paris and the Zen-Masunaga Shiatsu School in Geneva. | |||||
