Mata Sakka
shiatsu massage practice
how to treat your body for prevention from injuries. after my long career as a dancer, i am happy to culminate my skill set in anatomical studies and massage therapy into a workshop based on functional anatomy, and to offer a hands-on-treatment for movers and dancers alike. by getting curious about the deep understanding of the moving body and its mechanisms, together we will inquire into our corporeal-selves. the sources of information are extremely diverse and include the use of chinese medicine, yoga asanas, qigong practices, and several massage techniques, which will help us to find the right methodology to prevent physical injury.
please be aware of our early bird special offer for this workshop! you can apply for this offer up until the 24th of march 2024. after the 24th the regular workshop fee applies. applications are accepted up until one day before the workshops starts.
