Schedule
Year 1 - Shiatsu Foundation Year
This is the first year of the 3 year Shiatsu Diploma course. In this course you will learn and develop fundamental Shiatsu Techniques and theory.
We begin the year with "what you can’t learn from a book"
- How to apply the right amount of body weight
- Correct body posture
- How to co-ordinate your breath.
This is a practical "hands-on" year with theory interwoven with applied practice.
Please allow for 2-4 hours Shiatsu practice and homework per week.
Year 2
Zen Shiatsu becomes a way of being rather than a way of doing.
In the 2nd year specialised subjects and techniques, along with more in-depth theory is learnt and developed.
Year 3
During the whole training there is an awareness of refining techniques with the understanding and application of Shiatsu to suit individual needs, particularly in the 3rd year.
