Shiatsu Workshops

Sharing the Principles of Shiatsu Technique & Approach, experiencing & learning to give simple safe Shiatsu to friends and family. Working with presence, posture and breath and aiming to develop body and emotional awareness for connectedness in practicing & receiving Shiatsu. Also touching on an introduction to the Classical Meridian System and use of some major acupressure points. The workshop starts with warm-up exercises: ‘Do-in’ Japanese exercises & Qi-Gong. We will be working on futons on the floor.

Translated, Shiatsu means ‘Finger Pressure’ – based in ancient Chinese medicine, Shiatsu is a Japanese refined complementary body work therapy, connecting with Ki (Qi) on multi vibrational levels.

All Shiatsu is given & received fully clothed – please wear loose, comfortable, well covering clothes suitable for movement & bring clean socks to wear. All levels of experience are welcome from beginners to well practiced. Join us for these peaceful, mind calming, soul lifting and tension releasing workshops. We will break briefly for refreshments.


Saturday 1st August

The perfect time of year to work with the ‘Fire Phase’ of summer-time. Connect to your Heart spirit, creating calmness and inner peace.

Saturday 15th August

Qigong is an Ancient Eastern Art form. It promotes healing through mind & body development. Using gentle rhythmical movement ‘forms’ to encourage your Qi and imagination to flow. Entwining yourself within nature. This workshop also explores breath work, vibrational chanting & meditation; whilst building core strength, flexibility, balance, endurance & auto-immunity.

Saturday 29th August

Feel the support of harvest-time ‘Earth Phase’. Build that feeling of ‘safety and contentment’ within your balanced self. Summer workshop of Qigong with Meditation.

Spend time getting lost in movement, inviting your body to centre and expand, inviting your mind to get lost in a Qigong ‘bubble’ of ‘meditative magic’ and ending with a 20 – minute ‘led’ meditation. Lying down for some peaceful presence & re-balancing of your mind & soul.

This summer workshop, through the movement of qigong forms, embraces our more Yang ‘Summer Heart Fire’ Energy, where we then gently change ‘tack’ into the more Yin ‘Water Phase’ Energy to bring us to a flowing state of cool calmness, ready for a deeply relaxing and ‘emptying’ water-based meditation. We will break briefly for refreshments.
