One of my favorite books on shiatsu, I always recommend it for beginners. It contains the essential in 190 pages. Easy to read and to consult, well explained. Drawings are well done and give a better understanding than a lot of other books that have photos. Covers all the practical aspects (a.o. meridians, stretching, breathing, diagnosis), and offers a basic shiatsu session. Nice comments and helpful tips. Goes into important details, but not 'overloaded'. Excellent! No bla bla.

Initially I avoided this book as I thought to go with the most well known shiatsu guides but I am happy I bought it; I am very impressed with this book. I still have only just begun looking at it properly but it seems to cover the essential elements for a beginning Shiatsu practitioner and it's very well illustrated. Simple and yet comprehensive.

I was taught Shiatsu for 2 months while in massage school. I bought this book several months after graduating from school. Shiatsu was a class I didn't fully understand. Now I have a better understanding of this art and will continue to learn more about it with this book. If you are learning Shiatsu in school buy this book also to learn from alone with the book(s) given to you by the school, It will help.

I read this book when I first started learning shiatsu. It provides clear and basic information about the eastern system and how it works which I found helpful.

A very informative book. a good buy for learning and understanding Shiatsu. I bought the book Used from Kristine's World of Books and was very pleased with the condition and the quick service I got. Thanks to both of you, Amazon and Kristine's.I will buy used again.
