Introductory Workshop

(Dance of the Foot)

In this introduction to the merging ofAshiatsu and Thai Yoga Massage we
will explore how to use your feet in simple, rhythmic, and elegant ways to help
bring someone balance and harmony. You will learn some easy techniques
while standing or sitting next to a client, pressing and moving along energy
lines and points.

This is a great workshop for yoga teachers, bodyworkers, or anyone with an
interest in using your feet as tool for healing. There is a deep grounding and
nurturing that happens when using the feet and a new way to look at our
connection to the earth.

Ashiatsu is a traditional massage from Japan. Ashi means foot, and Atsu
means pressure. It has origins from ancient monks in Japan. Andrew learned
Ashiatsu from a family line which originates from the Hyodo Perfecture
region. Andrew has studied with masters in Thai Yoga Massage all over the
world and is a Therapist with (THAI) Thai Healing Alliance International, a
Licensed Massage Therapist in the Seattle area ofthe U.S., a Craniosacral
Therapist, with many more bodywork modalities under his belt.

Andrew is organizing a 1 0 day retreat to Shisou Hyoda, Japan in September,
