General Foundation Course


The Foundation Course (Stage One) is for beginners seeking more than the 'taster' provided by an Introductory Workshop. It is held in various formats totalling 6 days of tuition on the non-residential courses. Residential courses are held over one 5 day block.

The European Shiatsu School Foundation course is designed to equip a Student with the necessary skills to relax a recipient, boost their energy level, and invigorate their blood and lymphatic circulation. It is essentially practical focused but includes some simple theory.

The foundation course (Stage 1) can be taken as a stand alone course for amateur use on family and friends and is a prerequisite for continuing onto the Shiatsu Bodywork course (stage 2) and years two and three of the full three year Shiatsu practitioner course.

The Foundation Course syllabus assumes no prior knowledge of any form of Bodywork.
