GSD* approved courses

Adrian Jones has since 2003 developed Shiatsu techniques for the massage-table.These are based upon the easy, effective use of the Hara (main energy centre of the physical body) in combination with cross patterning. Every moment is designed to open and develop ones own flexibility and vitality.

The original essence of shiatsu:

• To bring us closer to our true selves and to remind us that this warm feeling of oneness and contentment is, after all, the birthright of us all.
• To help set free the power of self-healing that each of us possesses.
• A Shiatsu-form that is easier to perform liberates more energy and awareness to treat the receiver.

The purpose of Aerial Shiatsu is to:

• Develop and use one’s own health and vitality
• Learn a style of shiatsu that is relevant to the particular difficulties and opportunities faced in modern life.
• Discover how to simultaneously exercise and nourish one’s own body during treating.

*  GSD = German Shiatsu Society

For the practitioner:

• The lower back, hip, knee and ankle joints with all associated tendons, ligaments and muscles are mobilised in a manner that refreshes and strengthens without tiredness or overload.
• With every technique and position,  the hara (the physical and energetic centre in the lower belly) can be directly and effectively used.
• Practitioners, who have developed joint-problems get another opportunity to return to shiatsu.
• Involves new techniques and positions which together bring a fresh impulse and variety into the practise.
• The lightness and ease of Aerial Shiatsu can extend the practise for many years to come, well into old age!

For the client:

• Instant acceptance because of easier access, increased comfort and warmth.
• Excellent for the elderly and people with reduced mobility.
• Head, neck and hara can be given long treatments whenever necessary.
• People with shoulder and neck problems will always find the most perfect and comfortable position using the adjustable headrest and armrest.

Basic course

Two weekends to develop a lasting friendship with the table.
Learn techniques which will develop and enhance your own posture, flexibility and vitality. Discover how to move and touch in a way that deeply relaxes and brings wholeness to another person.

Life is breath

A healthy life involves the ability to adapt and develop with changing circumstances.

As Shiatsu Practitioners, if we think ‘stagnation’ instead of ‘symptom’ then, most of the time we’d be closer to the truth.

Stagnation flourishes with lack of movement, lifeless food, poor posture but above all, underdeveloped shallow breathing.

This course is conceived to strengthen our own and other’s ability to gain from the precious air that surrounds us and to learn techniques to bring new life to exactly where it’s needed.

How to work on the twelve meridians with ease on the massage table
