When we measure the relative health of a joint, we mostly consider
its ease of movement. But, the space between the structures that
allows for this freedom is as fundamental component of joints as the
bony structures composing them . . . perhaps the most important one.
In this workshop you will learn new skills to:
• Stabilize the axial skeleton and mobilize the joint
• Feel the joint space as clearly as the joint structures
• Orient palpation skills toward expanding the space
• Use the additional space to increase range of motion
• Open the joint and reduce pain
• Restore function to injured joints

Come to our monthly community class where we teach you hands on techniques with spiritual Taoist principles; bringing healing to both yourself and the receiver. Shiatsu is a practical skill that anyone can learn and can be taken with you anywhere.

This is a workshop focused on relieving headaches and migraines using Shiatsu. We will learn simple Qi Gong breathing exercises, as well as acu-points and meridian channels associated with headaches. The majority of this workshop will be spent learning hands-on techniques for the feet, hands, head, neck and shoulders.

We will partner up and learn the meridian lines and Zen Shiatsu extensions associated with the sciatic nerve. As always, intention, alignment and quality of touch are the primary tools we use in Shiatsu. We will cover which side to work first, as well as the theory on the emotional/spiritual correspondences of sciatica

In this workshop we will explore no-hands techniques for deep compression and stretching. Using the feet (and knees) presents opportunities to apply deep pressure with little strain on our own bodies. Save your hands! These are techniques derived from Thai Massage which is one of Eben Dodds modalities as a licensed MT.

This is a self-shiatsu workshop, no partner needed.
We will learn theory, points and hands on techniques that aid in digestion. The majority of this workshop we will be spent learning hands on techniques for the abdomen.
We recommend to eat lightly before the workshop.

We will learn Chinese Medicinal Theory, accupoints, meridians, and meridian extensions that aid in sleep. Most importantly, we will learn about the intention and quality of our touch. We will then apply this theory with hands-on shiatsu techniques that sedate the receiver; putting their body in a parasympathetic state.
