A lot of people glaze over and look confused when I talk about their WATER element being low and depleted or that their FIRE element burning out of control. So I thought it would be useful to run a regular drop-in class for people who would like to gain a greater understanding of the five-elements as used in Chinese medicine and how it can be used to help understand imbalances within our body.<\/p>\n<p>These will be dynamic classes using movement and stretches to help you to experience the energetics of the Five Elements within both your body &amp; mind. We will talk about the meridian system and will work through a series of &amp; yoga like exercises, designed to help open and balance the body\u2019s meridians.<\/p>\n<p>The class will be designed to teach you self-healing shiatsu techniques, to give you the tools to take home with you so you can maintain your own health on a daily basis or rebalance yourself whenever things get to an extreme.<\/p>\n<p>No previous experience of shiatsu or the five elements is needed, just a willingness to step into the unknown and have some fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits of the class<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 reduce general aches and pains<br \/>\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 increase flexibility<br \/>\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 promote inner calmness and mental clarity<br \/>\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 give you the tools to balance the energy within your body\u2019s\u00a0meridians<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>leaving you feeling\u00a0<strong>energised<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>rejuvenated<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>centred<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>rooted\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>ready to face the world!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-481 aligncenter\" alt=\"five elements\" src=\"http:\/\/bringingbalance.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/five-elements.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringingbalance.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/five-elements.png 350w, https:\/\/bringingbalance.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/five-elements-300x285.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><strong>The first class is on:<\/strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Saturday 19th October 10.30-11.45am<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><strong>Coco rooms<br \/>\n41 Plasturton Gardens,<br \/>\nPontcanna<\/strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a37 per class<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Space is limited so please let me know in advance if you will be attending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Following classes will be on the third Saturday of every month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my shiatsu treatments I often talk about the five-elements as a way to help understand patterns of balance and disharmony within the body.
