A Monthly Series of Advanced Classes for Shiatsu Therapists

The Going Deeper Class Series consists of one 6 or 12-hour class approximately once per month, designed to specifically meet the needs of advanced students, open only to graduates or advanced students of Zen Shiatsu Chicago or other Asian Bodywork Therapy schools  It is recommended that current students complete at least Zen Shiatsu IV before taking Going Deeper classes, but some classes have earlier prerequisites, check the class descriptions!

In these classes, you can Go Deeper with your teachers.  These classes give instructors the opportunity to share their very specific refinements of shiatsu practice, in ways that are beyond the scope of our main licensure-track training.  We also explore advanced communication and qi cultivation skills!

Zen Shiatsu Chicago graduates may inquire at 847-864-1130 about our Student For Life subscription program, covering these and almost all other CE classes for $95/month.

Prerequisite: Current enrollment in, or completion of, Student Clinic 1

In this workshop, we’ll explore what it means to maintain a receptive, meditative awareness. We’ll notice where we are holding unnecessary physical and mental contraction, we’ll experiment with how to release the unnecessary and to use focused awareness to achieve an expansive touch.

In expanding our body and mind, we model for clients at the level of the nervous system what is possible for them. By maintaining a receptive, meditative awareness we will notice more quickly when and how our clients are responding to our work. Put them together and achieve quick, deeply integrative, and lasting results with ease.
