Permanent activity – Shiatsu
Karim Sbai, a newly-qualified Shiatsu practitioner and therapist, invites you to relax and discover this noble art.
Shiatsu is a Japanese manual therapy that involves applying pressure to specific areas of the body using the thumbs, palms, elbows and sometimes the knees. These zones are the meridians: the pathways for the circulation of KI. Shiatsu also includes a wide variety of gentle stretches and joint mobilizations.
Shiatsu acts on the physical and psychic levels to restore the free circulation of KI, which can be translated as “breath” or “vital force” animating every being.
The session takes place on a futon, with the person receiving Shiatsu remaining clothed.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover this art form.
