SHIATSU – LIE DOWN AND ENJOY

Posted in Uncategorized on 07/20/2011 07:09 pm by Vincent

Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that is based in traditional Chinese medicine but is a Japanese style of massage. The word “shiatsu” means “finger pressure.” It involves putting pressure on specific spots on an energy channel to increase energy flow through that meridian much like acupuncture but without the use needles.

The benefits of a shiatsu session include the same ones found in other forms of bodywork — deep relaxation, stress relief, more muscular flexibility, and increased energy and stamina. Because shiatsu balances the body systems, however, its effects can be more comprehensive and can last longer.

A fifty-minute session at Japan House, including aromatherapy, costs $85.

 

JAPAN HOUSE HOSTS FREE SELF-DEFENSE CLASS FOR WOMEN

Posted in Uncategorized on 07/11/2011 08:42 am by Vincent

On Saturday, July 30, 2011, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Japan House will host the first in its free-to-the-public “Saturday Showcase” series, which will be held on the last Saturday of every month.

The martial art of Aikido will be featured at the workshop, and the subject of the class will be Self Defense for Women.

Reading today’s headlines, many women feel they are at higher risk for becoming victims of attack and would like to learn a martial art for self-defense purposes. While not everyone is dedicated to long-term training, an intensive seminar can provide the necessary knowledge that can potentially save a woman’s life. Self Defense for Women is designed to teach practical and easy-to-remember basic techniques.

The instruction will be at no cost. A $5.00 donation is requested to cover the cost of refreshments. Registration is from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Class starts promptly at 10:30 a.m. Participants are asked to wear comfortable workout clothing. Students need not have received prior martial arts training, and the workshop is open to men and women of all ages. Because class size is limited, reservations are encouraged.

THE BENEFITS OF SHIATSU THERAPY

Posted in Uncategorized on 06/14/2011 11:20 pm by Vincent

Japan House believes that Shiatsu massage has many therapeutic benefits.  It is very effective in treating stress, which results from insomnia, headaches, anxiety, minor depression, fatigue, and worry.  The gentle touch and mild joint manipulation helps to calm the nervous system, stimulate immune functions, release held tension, and improve digestion.  Shiatsu applies traditional Asian theories of body-and-mind coordination rather than just addressing the symptoms. It leads to gradual reduction of emotional and physical disturbances, improved self-awareness, and sense of well-being.
