| The Basic Training is the beginning and foundation of shiatsu
study in our school. Learning from actively doing. It is our intention
that people may freely but very intensively learn the basics of
shiatsu. Beginning at the beginning, you learn to both give and
receive shiatsu. The Basic Training is therefore very practically
oriented and strives to give the starting practitioner a sturdy
anchor in the basic technique, a stable working posture and a
clear attitude. This initiation year program is designed as the first threshold towards a professional practice of Iokai Shiatsu. A broad spectrum of the basic techniques of Iokai Shiatsu is presented. The basis of shiatsu is underpinned by a handful of simple principles. We will pay a lot of attention to learning to use the body weight to create natural shiatsu pressure and learning to apply this in the suitable depth. Factors such as posture, breathing and relaxation will be emphasised for every individual student. An appropriate attitude, mentally and physically will be trained. Personal development is a central theme of everything we do. We know that each person has a unique way of assimilating the training and of learning shiatsu. It is also possible to follow the Basic Training as a year of personal development and deepening from this perspective of practical bodywork. We see each year anew that after a year of study, the students have reached a surprisingly high level of proficiency. |
