6-Day Intensive Workshop on Japanese Shiatsu Therapy Together with Tama

The workshop includes the 6-days session practice, each one lasting some 2.5 hours daily, aimed at learning the Japanese healing therapy — Shiatsu.

During the workshop, we will work step by step, becoming familiar with the philosophy of Shiatsu. We will study the maps of energy points on the body.

The workshop will develop dynamically. During the session we will cover a specific part of the body and practice how to work with Shiatsu techniques. We will observe sensations and refine our movement and technique. We will explore the main points on the face, head, and body.

The method will be presented in a way that allows all participants to engage in its application.

Through this simple, interactive exchange of “touch, sensation, and contact with another,” we will achieve harmonious breathing, calm mental state, and muscular relaxation. All of this is beneficial, as it allows our organs and systems to rest, while the brain enters a phase of tranquility.

The workshop is designed to introduce the basic knowledge and practice of Shiatsu and if interested it can open the door for deeper exploration in this field. The technique we learn will help us bring a new and enjoyable “healthy” routine into our daily lives.

Shiatsu is one of the most popular methods of Japanese restorative therapy, also known as Japanese physiotherapy. It involves applying pressure with the fingers and palms along the energy meridians that run through the human body. This promotes stress relief and relaxation in the patient, and also supports the body’s energy restoration and stimulates blood circulation.

During therapy, endorphins are released, which in turn help the body achieve self-balance.
This method is quite comprehensive and also incorporates vibration, mobilization, activation of fascia, stretching, and Japanese chiropractic techniques.
