Zen Shiatsu Massage School In Chicago

Eli Halpern

Eli Halpern is a dancer, martial artist, and bodyworker based in in Asheville, NC. While a student at Zen Shiatsu in 2018, he discovered the wild animal art of daoyin. In this ancient practice, he found a thread that draws together the principles of tai chi, the freedom of dance, the expressiveness of theater, and the harmony of medicine.

As a teacher, Eli encourages play and experimentation. When we cultivate lively openness, we begin to hear the body speak.
