Schedule Appointment with Rachel Whaley Shiatsu Therapy and Yoga.

Yoga

I offer Shiatsu therapy sessions and regular restorative yoga gatherings in the lovely, leafy S11 area of Sheffield.

I hope to offer a safe space for people to feel supported, to rest and find stillness, silence and peace away from the busyness of everyday life.

Shin Tai means 'source’ or ‘light’ body. Shiatsu Shin Tai is a deeply restorative bodywork that works to activate the origins of our physical and subtle body. A range of Shiatsu and bodywork techniques are used to address stress patterns and structural misalignments in the whole body. It is a deeply relaxing experience which over time can have profound effects on how we feel and align within ourselves and within the world around us. Receiving bodywork such as Shiatsu Shin Tai helps to free the body and mind of restrictive stress patterns by restoring motion in the system, which in turn allows us to feel more at ease and restful within the world and to live a more authentic life.

Shiatsu is a physical therapy which uses a combination of pressure points, gentle manipulation and stretching to re-energise weak areas and reduce tension in the body. By applying sensitive, mindful, static touch with thumbs, fingers and palms, the Shiatsu giver affects the functioning of physical systems such as nervous, circulatory and respiratory, thus supporting the body’s innate self-healing abilities and promoting a sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

I am a MRSS practitioner, committed to regular CPD training and remain affiliated with the Northern School of Shiatsu, where I am currently undergoing my Shiatsu teacher training having been a teaching assistant to the school for 3 years. I have completed additional training in Shiatsu Shin Tai, Shiatsu for Maternity and Infants and Yoga for Pregnancy. I have a BA Degree in Contemporary Dance Studies, Yoga Alliance qualifications amounting to 260 hours training and 20 years experience in bodywork. I have particular interests in neck issues/whiplash and lower back injuries. In particular, how treating these conditions with Shiatsu Shin Tai can not only improve symptoms but allow individuals to find a renewed outlook towards their own self care and physical and mental wellbeing.

I have experience working with parents/caregivers to assist in treating children from birth up to adolescence. As well as experience running dance, yoga and Shiatsu workshops for children and babies.
