Acupressure

This course will introduce fundamental techniques of acupressure. It will teach students how to locate commonly used points and evaluate them in terms of excess and deficiency. It will also teach students techniques to tonify, sedate and disperse the energy that flows through the points. The workshop will introduce basic concepts of Asian bodywork including Qi, Yin and Yang, and the five elements. Students will learn the anatomical model of channels or meridians and how they form an interconnected ‘web’ connecting the points to one another and to the body as a whole.
