Classes with Seymour Koblin

Zen-Touch™ Shiatsu

Zen-Touch™ Shiatsu is an innovative approach to traditional shiatsu/acupressureand Oriental bodywork created by Seymour Koblin.

Praised by many as the ultimate bodywork experience, Zen-Touch™ evokes deep health regenerating effects by balancing extreme lifestyle conditions that have affected one’s physical /emotional /spiritual body.

This form of bodywork allows the client to remain comfortably clothed during sessions, and can be done on a massage table or futon mat.

Applying pressure while stretching limbs in a gradual, nurturing fashion enhances energy flow and stimulates vitality. Every touch combines body assessment with therapy as the practitioner sensitively responds to the unique condition of each client. Benefits of Zen-Touch™ include relief from neck and back pain, increased flexibility, stress alleviation, improved digestion, posture, and concentration. Zen-Touch™ is unique in its benefit to the practitioner—it evokes a state of being where one enjoys giving as much as receiving.

Zen-Tone™

When Energy /Life Force is freely flowing through the body mind spirit, we experience vital health. When Life force is blocked, it accumulates in specific body areas, along energy lines, or on points. These “full” areas accumulate energy that would otherwise be more evenly distributed through the body. As a result other areas e.g. lower back digestive, circulatory respiratory etc. systems are left “empty” or depleted of energy. The degree of extreme between these high/Full and low/Empty places determines the intensity of one’s health challenges.

Zen-Tone™ combines bodywork with sound, toning and music to facilitate vital health through balancing extreme energy conditions that have affected one’s physical /emotional /spiritual body.
