More energy through Shiatsu Gym

We not only wish you a lot of inner harmony and zest for life - we also show the way there. Here are our exercises for a happy year.

Gentle, but targeted pressure, intense stroking, gentle stretching and loosening - who has experienced a good Shiatsu massage, knows that not only brings us back into our midst and flooded with new energy, but also touches the soul deeply. Shiatsu means "finger pressure," but the therapist also uses palms, elbows, knees, and feet to release blockages in our energy channels, the meridians. Heavenly, but unfortunately not cheap. One and a half hours cost at least about 75 euros.

Although Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese healing art of touch, it can be done differently. Brand new in the German fitness scene is Shiatsu Gym. "This holistic training combines breathing exercises with very effective meridian stretching exercises that stimulate and harmonize the flow of life energy 'Ki'," says Hamburg shiatsu therapist Melanie Heiming, who developed the workout herself. Interesting: Each meridian is connected to specific organs and fulfills a very special task.

The eight top exercises for a feel-good start into the new year are shown here - exclusively for you by the expert. The focus is on strengthening the lung and colon meridians as well as the gallbladder and liver meridians. Responsible u. a. for energy intake and distribution, detoxification, immune system, decisions, motivation, plans and visions. Do the exercises several times a week, slowly and with pleasure. In the process, inhale and exhale through the nose. Finally, lay down and track down for five minutes: How do my head and body feel now? Probably fantastic! 2010 - we can start!

Let go, breathe calmly and come to your own center

THAT BRINGS THE EXERCISE: Before you start with Shiatsu Gym, take a moment to let go of everyday life and arrive at your place. This meditative breathing exercise helps well. HOW IT WORKS: Put it on the shoulder-width stand with loose, relaxed legs. Cross both hands in front of the chest so that the palms are just below the clavicle. Make the spine long and consciously inhale and exhale through the nose for a few minutes. The mouth stays slightly open.
