Barefoot Shiatsu: Staff & Scarf ::: March 14 - 15, 2026 ::: 10am - 5pm ::: 14 CEs ::: Body + Soul + Being ::: Bayville, NJ ::: $450
Register: https://tinyurl.com/2rm35n59

Barefoot Shiatsu is mat work, integrating the use of feet, knees, elbows, staff, and scarf for the purpose of applying sustained pressure to effect the fascia. We follow general pathways of the classical meridians, focusing on typical stagnant and muscularly tight areas.

Techniques will be demonstrated in supine, prone and side-lying positions. Emphasis is given towards fluidity of transition, and the seamless rhythmic application of techniques.

Participants will enjoy the freedom of using the whole body, will learn strategies to take the burden off their thumbs and wrists, and will learn deep and relaxing techniques to benefit a wide range of clients.

Upon completion, all participants will receive a manual, a staff, a scarf, a CE certificate, and an online link to in class demos and photos.

Barefoot Shiatsu is mat work, integrating the use of feet, knees, elbows, staff, and scarf for the purpose of applying sustained pressure to effect the fascia. We follow general pathways of the classical meridians, focusing on typical stagnant and muscularly tight areas.

Techniques will be demonstrated in supine, prone and side-lying positions. Emphasis is given towards fluidity of transition, and the seamless rhythmic application of techniques.
Participants will enjoy the freedom of using the whole body, will learn strategies to take the burden off their thumbs and wrists, and will learn deep and relaxing techniques to benefit a wide range of clients.

One of the advantages of this modality is not only its effectiveness, but also its mobility. It’s ideal to offer at sporting events, festivals, etc., for all that is needed is a mat, a few yoga blocks, and a support staff.

Other modalities have recognized the effectiveness and have begun to incorporate these Barefoot techniques into their own work; come learn from the source!

Upon completion, all participants will receive a manual, CE certificate, and an online link to in class demos and photos.
