Spring Shiatsu Course 2017
Spring holds the power of beginnings, new projects, change, action, impulsivity…
With the bursting forth of spring, our bodies can show the imbalance of our spring energies of liver and gallbladder, leading to tension headaches, anger & impatience.
We will learn shiatsu techniques that release and nourish liver and gallbladder. This will help us move forward with the flexibility which comes with the flow of these energies, helping to integrate them into our bodies and lives for the new seasonal year.
