Our free Shiatsu Evening on Tuesday was a beautiful gathering — a small, warm group coming together to explore the art of touch, presence, and connection. We focused on the giver’s posture and how essential it is to stay comfortable, centred, and in flow when offering Shiatsu.
In Shiatsu, giving isn’t about “doing” something to someone, but being with them. When the giver relaxes, grounds, and lets their energy flow naturally, the touch becomes full, alive, and deeply nourishing for both people.
We practised moving from our centre — aligning posture, allowing the ground to support us, and transferring weight through the heel of the hand instead of using muscular effort. This shift transforms the experience: the giver’s body softens, movements become fluid, and the receiver feels safe, supported, and open to deeper healing.
Working along part of the Bladder meridian on the back, participants discovered how even the simplest techniques can balance energy and restore ease. The room felt calm, grounded, and quietly alive — a reminder that Shiatsu is more than a massage technique; it’s a way of being present.
We ended the evening sharing herbal tea, snacks, and conversation — reflecting on what we learned and how nourishing it felt to connect through mindful touch.
We enjoyed it so much that we’ve decided to host another one! Our next free Shiatsu Evening will be in November, focusing on Hara (the belly) — the body’s energetic centre.
Join us for an evening of learning, giving and receiving Shiatsu, and discovering the depth that comes from working from your centre. No experience needed — just curiosity and an open heart.
