Embracing the Whole with Maureen Miller, Shiatsu Expert

This workshop explores how the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—express themselves through movement, posture, breath, and emotional tone within Shiatsu sessions. By observing these elemental qualities in the body, practitioners learn to respond with greater sensitivity, presence, and adaptability.

Participants will explore how each element manifests through physical patterns, energetic rhythms, and relational dynamics, and how these expressions guide the flow of a session. Through discussion, observation, and hands-on practice, students deepen their ability to perceive the body as an interconnected whole rather than a collection of parts.

This class invites practitioners to move beyond technique and embrace a holistic, element-centered approach that supports balance, responsiveness, and embodied awareness in Shiatsu practice.
