Professional Tantsu®
When Tantsu came onto land many of the principles of the Zen Shiatsu that had gone into Watsu that first year accompanied Tantsu back onto land. What distinguished Tantsu was its closeness, the support of the base and the closer use of our own body to brace its stretches. Most of those that we were training to be practitioners had already studied Zen Shiatsu and we showed them how its moves could be integrated with the new positions and moves of Tantsu as appropriate. This is still true, but now that Tantsu has truly come into its own, there are now the new cradles that can enrich every Tantsu Practitioner's repetroire. Some of the new holds may not be appropriate for the first session with a client. But almost every one of them could be of value at some point in subsequent sessions.
Some of the original holds and positions are illustrated on this page. There are many more. In our 50 hour Tantsu 1 intensive we introduce our students to the traditional Tantsu holds as well as the new holds.
The Somatic Awareness Institute is offering comprensive TantsuŽ Professional Practitioner Trainings in Europe.
