Although Tantsu is not used to "fix" a certain problem, it is extremely therapeutic and beneficial to the sytems of the body. It provides a strong mind/body/spirit connection that I have never experienced in any other form of bodywork, both as the giver and reciever. Because of the energetic and physical connection Tantsu provides, it takes both he giver and receiver into deep states of meditation and energy awareness that are extremely powerful and healing.

                   Zen Yoga from the Heart    

What to expect in a session...

A sense of containment, bonding,  and mutual trust is created between you and me,  through a brief meditation that also assists you in dropping deeper into the inner peace already present in your body at the beginning of each session. From there, the energy awareness between the client and practitioner continues throughout the session in an intuitive, non-orchestrated way. There's no set pattern to the movements, and there is much stretching, stillness , and cradling throughout the session.
                     
Creating that deepest feeling of quiet, emptiness and peaceful bliss that comes from being centered, present and aware.

Please read below for a fuller description.

                   
                                      
Tantsu, brings the flow and essence of Watsu (Water and ZenShiatsu) onto land. Because it is based on a water modality, Tantsu incorporates its basic principles.
These are; the wavelike movement of the water, nurturing holding, the breath and heart connection, and deep, supported stretches. 
                 
  The basic principle is:  
  The more you are held, the more you can let go.
                                                     
Tantsu is characterized by it's breath conscious awareness,  fluid full-body contact stretching, and nurturing holds. It releases tensions, restores and deepens inner balance, and provides a deep sense of stillness  and peaceful well-being  to the body and mind.

In the work itself, equal importance is placed on working with the Chakras and Chinese Meridians ,  exploring the connection and integration of these two energy systems. The integration of the energetic modalities and the support the client feels at all times during a session is UNIQUE TO TANTSU, and help to access the source of your energy at the base chakra, where we drop deepest into ourselves and our breath. 
Its real essence is felt in the dance-like patterns of each move flowing into the next that encourages someone to completely let go.
               
Like Zen Shiatsu, Tantsu is done on a floor mat  in loose clothing to allow for proper space, stretches, and movement.
 
I love it with all my heart and want to share it with everyone!
