The Bath School of Shiatsu & Yoga was founded in the year 2000; the result of a wish to combine the powerful and mutually beneficial arts of Shiatsu and Yoga. Alongside drop-in yoga classes, the main focus of the school is a three-year professional Shiatsu training, leading to a nationally recognized qualification as a practitioner. During the shiatsu training, students are also taught a thorough grounding in Yoga techniques.

In order to maintain the highest standard of teaching and learning, the class size on the shiatsu training course is limited to fourteen. The course covers many areas of Oriental medicine, and more traditional Western anatomy, physiology, pathology and counselling skills, all supported by comprehensive notes, continuous assessment and exams. Because of the flexible nature of the course you are able to commit to as much of the training as you are comfortable with; completing one section and taking a break, or moving straight through the three years.
