Listening Hands - a day Workshop
People often ask me, “Aren’t you tired after your sessions?” My answer is always no — I actually feel nourished and more present. For me, it’s like a meditation. With touch.
I would love to share more about this through a full-day journey, inspired by Shiatsu and Reiki.
We’ll begin by arriving in our own bodies with movement and playful somatic explorations. From there, you’ll learn floor-based bodywork techniques and be guided through a nourishing full-body sequence — one you’ll both give and receive. The focus is on non-forcing, holding space, and cultivating presence. Touch becomes soft, meditative, and deeply connecting — supporting the receiver as much as the giver.
You’ll leave with practical techniques, as well as more confidence and joy in offering mindful touch.
What to Expect:
Somatic practices to awaken body awareness and sensitivity
Principles of Shiatsu: working from your center, not your muscles
Floor-based bodywork techniques that release tension with gentleness
A complete guided full-body sequence to give and receive
Space for rest, reflection, and integration throughout the day
Who It’s For:
Yoga teachers wishing to offer supportive touch in Yin, Restorative, or Savasana
Bodyworkers curious to explore Shiatsu-inspired techniques and the art of “doing less”
Caregivers who want to include soothing, mindful touch into their practice
Anyone interested in touch as a language of presence, connection, and acceptance
Every body is welcome — no prior experience needed.
