The world of the abdomen and its digestive system is perhaps the most complex and fascinating area to study. Organs, viscera, nervous system, microbiome, hormones, energy center… everything interconnects, begins, and ends in the belly. Every Shiatsu session calls for attention to the organs and abdominal treatment. This is why the 6th summer intensive course will be dedicated to a broad study of the digestive system over six consecutive days. Numerous experts will contribute knowledge to complement Shiatsu: anatomy, physiology, Chinese medicine, nutrition, plant effects, disorders, and pathologies will be covered. Like every year, this course offers an intense and unforgettable experience, deepening one theme and helping practitioners advance in their Shiatsu practice.
