About the Course

A practical workshop which introduces the attendee to the location of the 12 classical meridians that are used in Shiatsu and acupuncture. Exploring the relationship of meridians to other forms of bodywork. These could be integrated and incorporated into the attendees practice through their chosen modality.

You will learn to palpate and identify the 12 primary channels / meridians as used in shiatsu and acupuncture and to trace the anatomical location of these channels. Further qigong exercises and stretching will assist you in their anatomical locations. You will also be taught the location of a number of important tsubo’s / acupressure points and their actions, indications and contra indications.

The course aims to equip you as a learner with the confidence to apply working with meridians in their practice via their chosen modality.
