Yoga and shiatsu package

A unique experience of yoga and shiatsu blended in one session to create harmony and well-being.

The treatment will start with a shiatsu diagnosis, which will help to reveal how you are physically and mentally coping at that present time. From asking you questions and using my observation, I will provide specific yoga poses to help tone certain meridians/channels in your body that are depleted of energy. Shiatsu will then be given to help rebalance your mental and physical energy and promote deep relaxation.
Price:  2-hrs/ £120

In yoga, Prana is life force and in shiatsu Ki is also vital energy. Tao is the path to sustain pure Ki energy. Balance and harmony is the way of Tao- living according to the movements of nature.
Both practices promote the flow of life force throughout the body, purifying the energy within. Shiatsu uses techniques of finger pressure on the meridian/ energy channels and utilizes acupressure points to help treat symptoms of disease and disharmonies of the body and mind. This helps to unblock stagnation within the organs and meridians.
Yoga poses help to increase the flow of Prana/ energy and invigorate and rebalance certain meridians within the body. Specific yoga poses can be practiced in order to stimulate different qualities of energy and bring harmony back to the whole being. These qualities relate to the Yin and Yang theory. Yin and Yang are interdependent of eachother and are a unity of the two aspects of energy. For example, within a pose the quality of passivity and activity can be experienced. There is movement within stillness and stillness within movement. Each meridian pair holds qualities of Yin functions and Yang functions and are constantly working together to create and promote harmony. Chinese theory believes we are made up of the five elements and that the meridians correspond to them. The 5 elements are: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These relate to some of the aspects of the human progression of life through Motivation and growth, transformation, circulation and power, stability and nourishment, the breath and elimination, purification  and the ability to relax and flow.
Early Indian philosophy spoke of man being made up of the 5 sheaths, which also accord with the elements of nature. These sheaths are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space/ether. These correspond to the Anatomical, Physiological, Mental, Intellectual and Spiritual layers of the human being.
