Great book

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.

Complete introduction to shiatsu

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.
