Basic Tantsu Training - March 2012

Tantsu is an intuitive form of bodywork that is based around the principles of support and containment. Using Cradles, whole body holds that allow the therapist to support the client, the giver will press and move the receiver’s body in order to stretch, release tension, and restore the body to wholeness. 

This brings a
deep connection between giver and receiver that can free our sources of our energy while providing a place of stillness and peace. Tantsu is a wonderful way to explore the body’s needs and develop non-sexual intimacy, and can be used as an offering in professional healing, or in your personal life with friends and intimate partners alike.

Tantsu Training

Until now you would you have to travel far to get any training in this approach. However I now have an opportunity to bring the wonderful
Ateeka to Scotland and have her teach us this wonderful approach at StillPoint

Having trained with
Ateeka in April (and having to drive 10 hours to Cornwall just to get there) I can tell you that once you experience her wonderfully open teaching style and the beauty of Tantsu practice (both in giving and receiving), you will be hooked.


This
Basic Tantsu Training (16 hours over 2 days) on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th March 2012 at StillPoint Holistic Therapy Centre, 1B Nelson Street, Kilmarnock KA1 2AA. These two fun days will introduce the core concepts of Tantsu in a practical way, and allow you to experience and enjoy the basic cradles of Tantsu as both giver and receiver. The cost will be £150 per person, with a £50 deposit to secure your place (balance payable 6 weeks before). Places are limited to 12 participants, so please be of a mind to commit early or you may end up disappointed.

Who is it for?

Tantsu can be used at both a
professional and a personal level. The training you receive will help you to develop intimacy with those special people in your life, so maybe you would like to come and do this training with your partner or a friend. Or it can be used to enhance any other healing approaches you work with such as massage, and with further training this course could lead to a recognised qualification as a professional Tantsu practitioner.

Want to know more?

I have such a belief in this approach that I want to offer a free Tantsu session for anyone who wishes to book this training, to show you how wonderful it truly is. So
get in touch with me and we’ll arrange for you to come and experience its powers first-hand, with no cost to you.

What to Bring with You

Clothing - Please wear loose, comfortable clothes, the kind of thing you might wear to do a yoga class.

Lunch - You may wish to bring a packed lunch, but there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby as we are in the town centre.

Equipment – you will also need a blanket, two yoga mats, a few firm cushions and/or zafu, a large thai mat/shiatsu mat or futon. If you don’t have a thai/shiatsu mat or futon then please search online. I can thoroughly recommend Futon Pacifica, where I bought mine (see pic above - a 3-Layer Double Premium Futon Mat with mat cover). This mat is awesome, and has been the envy of all who behold it LOL – contact Gary at http://www.futonpacifika.co.uk to order.

Miscellaneous - A big smile, enthusiasm for life and an open heart will also enhance everyone’s weekend <3
