Introduction to Shiatsu

You stroke your dog’s back and she cuddles up closer. You scratch your horse’s favorite spot and he closes his eyes and drops his head in pleasure. Touch brings you closer.

Now you can take touch to the next level. In our introductory shiatsu class you’ll learn simple effective hands-on techniques that improve flexibility, calm the mind, and balance the body’s energy. And it’s all as simple as the pats you are already giving your animal every day.

This class is open to all levels.

Introduction to Shiatsu for Animals is one of our Foundations classes. This class is also included in our Acupressure Foundations Bundle which gives students a 15% discount on three of our most core level acupressure courses (Intro to Acu, Intro to Shiatsu, and Intro to the 5 Elements).
