We started R&S in Ross on Wye today and it was a great success. With 10 of us in the room the energy soon warmed us and at the end of the hour we were all suitably awoken and relaxed. Starting with Do-In (self massage taught traditionally on Shiatsu courses) we also quickly looked at all the other traditions we will be using.

This is an ongoing course so if it sounds good (see full details here) please just come along on a Tuesday morning.

See you there!!

I hope everyone is having a great summer!!

Shiatsu course for 2010

I am planning this course and hope it will be popular as it will have foundation Shiatsu content and therefore it is suitable for anyone who wants to take their study further. As it can be difficult to get the numbers in Hereford I am asking for people to register their interest now so that I can see what size venue will be best. Details on the syllabus are here

Research carried out in 2009 by the University of Leeds on behalf of the European Shiatsu Federation showed that Shiatsu improves health.

A total of 948 clients received shiatsu in routine practice. At study end, 86% of clients reported that shiatsu was effective in treating symptoms of stress and tension, problems with muscles and joints (including back pain and posture) and low energy and fatigue. 95% of clients experienced an increased sense of calm and feelings of relaxation.

Available until end Sep 09 to people who have never tried Shiatsu
