Shiatsu Iokaï

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese healing art. As with acupuncture, Shiatsu works with energy points and meridians, lines along which one finds linked energy points. Unlike acupuncture, Shiatsu uses the fingers, rather than needles, to press the energy points. Our fingers feel where stimulation or diffusion are needed and at the same time push energy to stimulate or diffuse energy. Iokai Shiatsu is taught in Europe by Master Sasaki, a student of the famous Matsunaga. This school of Shiatsu is recognised for its use of Chinese energy meridians and the Chinese philosophies of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
 
Family Shiatsu
Family Shiatsu is easy to learn. The student moves steadily forward. He is invited to reproduce what he has learned at home among his relatives, sharing with them the pleasure of learning and the joy of releasing tension. It gives comfort, eases pain, stimulates, and calms. The student discovers his need for a balanced life, and comes to know himself and others. To feel happy in our body makes our relationship to others easier. Health becomes then not just a right, but a duty we owe to ourselves and to other selves.
 
Technique
Iokai Shiatsu teaches the art of Master Matsunaga. The student turns his attention to feeling energy -- Ki in Japanese and Chi in Chinese. He learns to press, massage, stretch, etc. He is taught by the tip of his fingers. It is manual learning. Theory comes after. It is body knowledge. When pushing the energy points, the student feels and responds at the same time. He does not intervene directly in the process of release but allows the body to heal itself.
 
Workshops
The workshops are open to everyone. The teaching is done in small groups and it moves steadily forward. The teacher, Corinne Babled has a long history of teaching, and has been studying oriental arts for more than 25 years. She believes that the pleasure of studying and the will to deepen one's understanding of the body's power to heal are the characteristics needed for progress in the art of Shiatsu. The greatest benefits are attained by steadiness.

Shiatsu benefits
In addition to Shiatsu, she teaches a complementary art: Do-in, a Japanese Yoga, meant to help us feel through our body the energy that lies within. The lesson is thus well balanced between relaxation and stimulation. At the end of the workshop, the student feels he has better:
u Flexibility
u Relaxation
u Muscular tone
u Capacity to feel and to express joy
u Ability to open to others
