Zen Shiatsu – EL204ZS

Zen Shiatsu EL204ZS (15 hours, 1.25 units)

This course will introduce students to the basic principles and techniques of Zen Shiatsu. The word “Shi-atsu” literally translates as “finger-pressure”, although many practitioners incorporate thumbs, palms, elbows, forearms, knees and feet into their treatments. Pressure is applied to the meridians to support the recipient’s overall health by balancing and restoring the natural flow of Ki within the body. The practitioner uses gentle tension and balance any distortions of Ki within the meridians. Students will learn an introductory 60-minute protocol focusing on the back and front of the body.
