The Katas: These are basic treatment sequences where one learns to give shiatsu treatment to the receiver in the following body positions:

• prone position
• reclining position
• side position
• sitting position

This is the authentic Eastern mode of learning: through constant practical training to strengthen and develop one’s physical co-ordination. This training leads simultaneously to deeper insight in one’s own functioning on all levels.

Meridian Stretching: This is an extensive series of exercises developed by Masunaga Sensei to activate specific meridians singly or in combination with one another.

Treatment of specific regions of the body: extensive attention for treatment of neck, shoulders and back

Yin/Yang co-operation of two hands: The development of the use and interaction of an active and a support-hand during treatment. In this duo lies the hidden power of a treatment.

Feedback and personal corrections: We accompany each student in progressively refining his/her approach and intention. This, both in the physical dimension (the handgrips, posture and physical co-ordination as well as in the communicative quality.

Self-Study: An important part of the training is in practicing at home and in this way repeating with other students, friends and acquaintances all the shiatsu techniques presented. We advise the students to amass as much practical experience as possible in this way.
