SHIATSU & RELAXATION - Martin Julich or Laura Davison

Dates:  Sunday 17th June; Time: 10am - 4pm; Cost: £50

This is a new venture, where we will explore and teach ways to relax using Shiatsu (acupressure) and guided relaxations. Relaxtion and the ability to relax, to come back to a normal functioning of our body-minds, is absolutely vital to retain or regain health. In Shiatsu we can invite and retrain the body into relaxation, using perpendicalur pressure to open the bodys energies, harmonising the way it flows. Tight muscles as well as a 'tight mind' can relax to this sort of approach. There will be points and other tips given during the day. Any questions you have, just bring them along and ask!

Venue: Love Yoga, 42 Union Terrace, Aberdeen

QIGONG HEALING HEALING – Martin Jülich & Laura Davison MRSS(T)

In case you missed this one:)

The workshop was well received and teaching it was also fun and learning. We intend to  offer another day or even a weekend exploring Qigong practice and applying the energy we feel with on and off the body healing.

The day has two intents: practicing Qigong to make our Qi flow, increase internal energy in ourselves and sensitise our perception of Qi. Once we can feel Qi move clearly we can take that into doing healing work on each other.

Venue: Love Yoga, 42 Union Terrace, Aberdeen

SHIATSU WORKSHOP

 

MEASURING CHANGE

or, Did That Really Happen?!

Anne Palmer MRSS(T)

26/27th May 2012

Cost: £95; times: 10am – 5pm

 

The concept of change is central to our understanding of ki and the interplay of yin and yang.  The belief that things can, and will, change underpins our Shiatsu.  But unless we pay attention, these changes may be missed, or underplayed, or not valued.

In this largely practical workshop, open to practitioners and students at any stage of their Shiatsu journey, will explore how we glean and record information from our clients, and develop ways of improving this process.

You will come away from this workshop with greater clarity about what you are doing with your Shiatsu, and with increased confidence in the power of Shiatsu to change lives.

 

Anne Palmer has been practising Shiatsu since 1989.  She is Principal of the Shiatsu College in Newcastle, and has a busy Shiatsu and Acupuncture practice there.  She is currently on a mission to trumpet widely the power and glory that is Shiatsu!
