Discovering shiatsu
Shiatsu is Japanese acupressure and a holistic approach with techniques based on the principals of the Traditional Chinese medicine. We will press on meridians, the energetic channels in our body. We will do stretching exercises, rotations to create space, release tensions and relax our body.
The purpose of shiatsu is to feel and have a balance between the fundamental aspects of our being ; the energetic, the mental, the emotional, the physical and the spiritual.
Yin and yang in harmony
Shiatsu helps you relax, de-stresses and reduces fear, it’s harmonizing the energy for a good flow.
