Equine Shiatsu foundation course

3  DAY FOUNDATION COURSE |
Friday 5-8pm | Saturday 10am-6pm | Sunday 10am-6pm

Shiatsu is a comprehensive system of natural therapy based on the principles of the Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was created as a combination of knowledge in human shiatsu therapy and horse acupuncture. It focuses on finding the causes of problems (inner imbalances) instead of just treating the symptoms. By regulating the flow of energy (Qi) through the channels (meridians) balance and vitality are restored to the body which improves general condition and health of horses.
During the Foundation Course you will familiarize yourself with shiatsu as a therapy, find out in which cases shiatsu benefits horses and get first-hand insight into how shiatsu functions. You will do a practical work on humans and horses and learn how to relax your horse through simple hand and finger pressures, stretches, light rotations and touch. You will acquire enough knowledge and skills to be able to give a relaxation treatment to your horse. The Foundation Course is intended for horse owners, but also for those who are in contact with horses and wish to build a deeper relationship with them (riders, trainers, therapeutic riding instructors…). The course is led by Jele Dominis, dip SES.
