The completion of the Shiatsu basic training enables qualified wellness treatments. The training is traditionally carried out on the floor, which is pleasantly soft in our classrooms. The core of the basic training is the basic course which consists of eight parts of 12 hours each. Here, the Shiatsu basic sequence (Kata) and six meridian-katas are learned for the general stimulation of the self-healing powers. The most important techniques for the treatment of body segments are also included. For each of the eight parts of the basic training, a part of the training group (AG) is offered. Depending on the needs of the students, the contents of the basic courses are repeated, deepened and supplemented. Exclusively in the AG, stretching and self-treatment of all 12 meridians are learned. For detailed contents from part to part as well as the AG (training group) see below.
If the basic training is to be concluded with a certificate or used as the first stage of the three-year Shiatsu training, the training group (AG) and 4 supplementary courses are mandatory, same counts for the second and third year (at the moment only offered in German language). For the certificate, one of the four supplementary courses needs to be a supervision.
Attention! It is strongly recommended to attend an introductory course before starting the basic training.

Fees
It is a matter close to our hearts to make Shiatsu accessible to as many people as possible. That is why we have decided on a sliding scale system in which the different financial possibilities can be balanced out.
Base fee: With this price we can just about cover the compulsory costs for the school (teacher’s fees and room rent).
Regular fee: This overs not only the fees and the room rent but also the costs for administration, organisation an d advertising. This enables a sustainable operation of the school.
Sponsorship fee: You contribute to our planning security and thus to the long-term preservation and expansion of our offer. In addition, you enable us to show solidarity and offer cheaper prices or partial scholarships for people with low incomes.
Contact us if you cannot afford the basic fee and we will find a solution together.
