This course is presenting a seated massage based on the oriental energy system. Students will be introduced to an easy Qi Gong practice to associate with the concept of Ki (a.k.a. Chi). Class is primarily practical but location of specific acupuncture lines and points is covered, as well as indications, contraindications, and body dynamics. Students will learn a 20-30 minute pattern for massage of head, neck, back, hips, arms, and hands with the client seated in a massage chair or on a stool. Stretches of neck, shoulders, and back are included in the pattern.

By the end of the course the student will be able to correlate with the concept of Ki, recognize some basic Acupuncture points in the upper body, perform a 20-30 minute routine of Japanese Chair Massage, and demonstrate good body dynamics.

The class takes place on the 29th and 30th of November 2010 from 9am-4pm for a total of 12 hours. the cost is $180.00 ( not including book.) This will be a very special class as Lena Nyholm will be conducting it. For those that have studied with Lena in the past it goes without saying; for the rest that will attend her class for the first time, you are about to be touched by an angel from Finland.
