Step into spring with this great dynamic workshop introducing you to the Chinese theory of the Five Elements in relation to your own health and wellbeing.
The theory of the Five Elements has been used for over 2,000 years as a method of diagnosis and treatment of health & disease within the body. In shiatsu this theory is central to understanding our own health and patterns of disharmony in the body. The Five Element cycle symbolises the continuous flow of life in all things, from birth to death and rebirth. If we follow this natural flow & rhythm of life it will lead us to better health, more harmonious relationships and a healthier planet.
In this workshop I will introduce you to each of the five elements and how they relate together in both the natural world and in our own internal worlds. We will learn about the meridian system and how to recognise when our bodies are out of balance and I will show you some simple exercises to enable you to rebalance yourself on a daily basis.
We will focus on the WOOD element and the energy of SPRING. I will show you a series of exercises to help awaken this upward and outward energy within your body to help you face the challenges of your life with new vigor, creativity & playfulness.
This will be a dynamic workshop using movement and gentle stretches to help you to experience the energetics of the Five Elements within both your body & your mind. No previous experience of shiatsu or the five elements is needed, just a willingness to step into the unknown and have some fun.
