Hara/TanDen Workshop – Returning to the Center of Life with Kumiko Kanayama

In Japanese healing, martial arts, and meditation, the Hara is the wellspring of life—where breath settles, Ki gathers, and the mind becomes quiet. When the Hara is awakened, intuition deepens, presence stabilizes, and touch becomes a true extension of the inner self.

This workshop explores:

• The meaning of the Hara in energetic, emotional, and physical terms

• Breath practices that awaken grounding and internal spaciousness

• How to listen, move, and touch from the Hara in Shiatsu

• The relationship between Hara, Meridians, Tsubos, and the Five Elements
