CM 45E - Shiatsu IV

Credit(s): 1

The long form builds on the short form learned in the first year and introduces new techniques. Specifically, stretching maneuvers for all the major joints of the body, along with more specific pressing of acu-points, are integrated into the massage. Pertaining to the self-cultivation aspect of the training, another Dao-Yin form is presented. Students learn a comprehensive series of stretches (much like yoga) for the practitioner, both as preparation to give as well as receive the shiatsu stretches, but also to generally open and strengthen the practitioner’s body. Intimate knowledge of these stretches also constitutes the basis for the use of stretches as a prescription for clients. Prerequisite(s): CM 35E . Note: Additional fee required.
