The Dragon & Phoenix program is 404 hours and represents the basic requirements towards becoming an accredited member of certifying bodies such as the FQM, AMQ and CPMPC.

At Dragon & Phoenix students learn techniques and approaches in the style of the masters Ohashi and Masunaga (Zen Shiatsu). As is taught at Dragon & Phoenix, the goal of shiatsu is to make the client more aware of and in tune with their body and to find and correct energetic imbalances so that the body can heal itself. As such, shiatsu is a therapeutic approach that not only allows the receiver to relax but may also relieve them of long-standing discomforts and symptoms as well as prevent new ones. NEW in 2009 with International Tao Shiatsu Society, this revolutionary approach will be offered ! To learn more see www.taosangha-na.com
