"Inspiring,it was brilliant, time for reflection, really enjoyable, definitely enrolling on the Beginner's Course, a magical time, it was great, I learnt a lot about myself and shiatsu."
This course will provide you with an opportunity to improve your own health and well-being while learning some basic shiatsu techniques and a stress-relieving shiatsu routine. We will spend time on the easy to learn skills of calming the mind, energy-sensing and flexibility by practising meditation, breathing and shiatsu-based exercises. This prepares us for learning and practising a simple relaxing shiatsu routine of applying pressure, massage and stretching.
Come and have fun, move your body, quieten your mind and finish the day feeling relaxed and energised, armed with a new skill to practise on yourself, friends and family. It is a great course to do with a friend or partner! It is a stand alone course, but is also a good introduction to the 6 Week Evening Class starting in Portsmouth in September 2010, or further professional training.
A SIX WEEK EVENING BEGINNER'S SHIATSU COURSE. Autumn 2010 at The John Pounds Centre. Date to be confirmed.
NEXT DATE: Starting Autumn, 6.30- 8.30pm. New lower price, now sponsored by The Devon School of Shiatsu. Cost £150. Concessions available. Booking: £25 deposit secures your place by Thursday 24th September. Venue: The John Pounds Centre, Portsmouth. PO1 3HN Free parking and gym membership during the course dates. Teaching takes place in the carpeted conference room in this new millenium-funded Portsmouth Community Centre, which offers many health, fitness and well-being classes and events.(See below) Situated off Queen Street, in the heart of the historic ships and docklands quarter, with easy access of the M275, Gosport and Isle of Wight ferry and train terminals at The Hard, and near Gunwharf Quays, the Spinnaker Tower and Commercial Road.
This course, spread over 6 evenings, will provide you with the opportunity to improve your own health and well-being while learning some of the basic shiatsu technique explored on the Beginner's Day, and refine these skills, but in more depth and with more time in between classes to practise. We will again spend time on the core skills of inner stillness, "ki"-sensing and flexibility with meditation, breath-work and shiatsu exercises in preparation for learning in more depth some of the basic shiatsu techniques of applying pressure, stretching, and massage. By the end of the course you will have experienced both giving and receiving a complete shiatsu routine and had some feedback in a tutorial session. Experiencing a full shiatsu consultation is recommended but not built in to the course. Come prepared to allow change to happen and you will leave the course feeling relaxed, energised and equipped to give a basic shiatsu treatment to friends and family. Again, this is a great course to do with a friend or partner!

Shiatsu Society European Research Launch, " The Experience and Effects of Shiatsu: a Cross-European Study" Thursday 24th September 2009, University of Westminster, London. Professor Andrew Long ( University of Leeds)and Seamus Connelly European Shiatsu Federation research co-ordinator together with other visiting experts in the field of integrated medicine will be presenting and discussing the very positive findings from this study, such as that between 84% and 87% of shiatsu receivers reported that it was "beneficial" and improvements were recorded for "tension or stress, problems with digestion, breathing or blood pressure" and more than 90% "felt that shiatsu has helped to maintain their health."( An Overview of the Findings, 2008, page 4.) The event was organised by The Shiatsu Society Research committee of which I am a member. We are now planning further research into Shiatsu and continue to have close links with the European Shiatsu Federation.(ESF)
