Fire and Water 1: This course’s primarily focus is on basic meridian flow and major shiatsu points.

Aquatic Shiatsu, Fire and Water 1 offers a clear, coherent, and most importantly, an applicable base of knowledge for all water modalities participants. Whether you are practicing a water healing modality such as Watsu, Water Dance, or Aquatic Integration, this class will assist in understand the basics of the Oriental way of healing and supports and deepens an understanding of one’s own healing modality. I feel very confident that this information is incredibly valuable for every water practitioner.

Shinzo has been teaching Shiatsu on land for over 35 years and developed Aquatic Shiatsu, Fire and Water. Fire and Water is a joint venture designed to enhance Watsu, understanding specifically which meridian students are stretching and which major acupressure points students are palpating in the water. With Shinzo’s profound knowledge of shiatsu, students will better understand the essence of “Yin and Yang”, while also enhancing the understanding of energy balance, assisting and creating the healing from within.

Fire and Water is taught on land, and in the water. On land, students are introduced to concepts of Oriental Medicine, Shiatsu specifically meridians and major acupressure points. In the water, guided by the Japanese bodywork theory, students practice gentle joint mobilizations, specific meridian stretches using point pressure on specific acupressure points. They will also experience the many benefits of Shiatsu, including a balanced flow of energy, deep relaxation, and an overall feeling of well-being.

Also, students will learn simple self-care elements and routines (E.A.S.Y.) for their own health and well-being which can as well be used to teach self-care to clients which can enhance healing after the treatment session: E.A.S.Y. (Energetic Aquatic Shiatsu Yoga)
