About Yasuo Mori

The practice of authentic Shiatsu was handed down to Yasuo Mori by his mother in Nagasaki, Japan. Over the years he has developed his own unique style of treatment by incorporating his understanding of Japanese folk medicine, macrobiotics, exercise and massage. Mr. Mori is fully licensed by the Washington Board of Massage and the Washington State Department of Health. He has been a member of the American Massage Therapist Association since 1983, and has taught Shiatsu extensively at numerous colleges, massage schools and private workshops across the Northwest.

Shiatsu, which literally means "finger pressure", restores the body, mind and spirit to its natural state of balance while alleviating stress, fatigue and muscle aches. Shiatsu can also stimulate the healing of specific injuries and improve symptoms of poor health such as chronic pain, soreness, stress, insomnia and other conditions that are not effectively treated by Western medical practices. This class presents a Shiatsu technique that uses the channel system to balance "Qi" and improve health. By the end of the course, students will be able to palpate body parts in a sensitive manner, perform a full-body Shiatsu treatment, sense tension flaccidity, heat, cold, dryness and moisture while giving a Shiatsu treatment, assess whether channels are excess or deficient, detect major meridian and acupressure points and learn 5 element theories.
