SHIATSU


Shiatsu – from the Japanese words shi, meaning finger, and atsu, meaning pressure - is a traditional hands-on therapy originating in Japan. Treating the body as a whole shiatsu rebalances energies in the body and stimulates its natural healing power using pressures of thumbs, palms, fists, elbows and knees along the meridians or energy channels. Shiatsu beautifully combines with yoga since it uses the same approach of wholeness and lots of therapeutic stretches and it is traditionally performed on a mat on the floor.

Cost:1 hour, £35

• Deep sense of relaxation
• Relieves muscular and psycological tension
• Helps sleep
• Increases energy levels
• Stimulates immune system
