The School
(This is my postal address only; classes are not held here - please see the 'Courses' page for class venues.)
Set up in the year 2000, as a result of a desire to combine the powerful and mutually beneficial arts of Shiatsu and Yoga, the main focus of the school is a three-year professional Shiatsu training, leading to a nationally recognized qualification as a practitioner. Alongside Shiatsu, students will be taught a thorough grounding in Yoga techniques.
In order to maintain the highest standard of teaching and learning, the class size is limited to fourteen. The course covers many areas of Oriental medicine and more traditional western anatomy, physiology, pathology and counselling skills, all supported by comprehensive notes, continuous assessment and exams. Because of the flexible nature of the course you are able to commit to as much of the training as you are comfortable with; completing one section and taking a break, or moving straight through the three years.
The School also offers:
- private tuition in Shiatsu and Yoga
- student supervision and practice classes
- regular stress management workshops within the work environment
