Stretching Your Emotions
April 13, 2026 :: 10am - 5pm
Zen Shiatsu Chicago
6 CEs

Register: https://zenshiatsu.edu/ce/stretching-the-emotions/

Students will be introduced to the concept of how the emotions are recognized and expressed in the view of Chinese Medicine and the Meridian System.

Within normal limits, emotions cause no disease or weakness in the body. However, when emotions become so powerful that they become uncontrollable and overwhelm or possess a person, then they can cause serious injury to the internal organs and open the door to disease. It is not the intensity as much as the prolonged duration of an extreme emotion, which causes damage.

Students will learn self-care and techniques for applied stretches to be integrated into sessions for clients.

All work will be done on padded floor mats. Bring loose fitting clothing and an open mind.

Barefoot Shiatsu: Staff & Scarf ::: March 14 - 15, 2026 ::: 10am - 5pm ::: 14 CEs ::: Body + Soul + Being ::: Bayville, NJ ::: $450
Register: https://tinyurl.com/2rm35n59

Barefoot Shiatsu is mat work, integrating the use of feet, knees, elbows, staff, and scarf for the purpose of applying sustained pressure to effect the fascia. We follow general pathways of the classical meridians, focusing on typical stagnant and muscularly tight areas.

Techniques will be demonstrated in supine, prone and side-lying positions. Emphasis is given towards fluidity of transition, and the seamless rhythmic application of techniques.

Participants will enjoy the freedom of using the whole body, will learn strategies to take the burden off their thumbs and wrists, and will learn deep and relaxing techniques to benefit a wide range of clients.

Upon completion, all participants will receive a manual, a staff, a scarf, a CE certificate, and an online link to in class demos and photos.
