welcome to community clinic
A community SPACE FOR
SHIATSU SESSIONS & SHIATSU YIN YOGa
We offer Shiatsu to the community in a communal setting one Friday evening a month, followed by a Shiatsu Yin Yoga class
A collaboration between Studio Shiatsu, Brunswick Shiatsu and friends!
-
One of our primary goals is to make Shiatsu accessible to all, so that everyone can experience its benefits.
This 60 minute Shiatsu session takes place in a shared space where multiple individuals receive treatment simultaneously.
The communal setting fosters a sense of community, where comfort and support can be found in sharing the therapeutic experience with others.
We are mindful of maintaining individual privacy and comfort; there is ample space between futons, and clients remain fully clothed during the session.
Each session is tailored to your individual needs by one of our qualified Shiatsu Therapists.
If this is your first time receiving Shiatsu, you can read more about it here. -
A 90 minute Yin Yoga class combining restorative Yin Yoga shapes with Shiatsu touch (acupressure points, holding and massage) - for a deeply restful experience.
Yin postures are held for 4-5 minutes. Our Shiatsu Therapists will move around the room, and while resting in the shape you will receive a short amount of Shiatsu bodywork to deeper support the meridian opening.
These meridian-focused sequences are inspired by the energetics of the seasons and designed to balance the elements and energy flow in your body.
The combination of slow stretches and the calming touch of Shiatsu offers a space for deep relaxation; improving circulation and inviting awareness to the whole body.We welcome all abilities/bodies.

Our facilitator for November:
Sarah MackieHi, I'm Sarah.
Yoga to me is a ritual we get to create for ourselves, a mindful meditative experience, a way to take time out from external life and drop into being, the essence of which we can take from the mat out into the world. When we come together in group practice, there’s an extra special potency of collective energy. It's an honour to offer guidance and be in this space with you.
I’ve been practicing yoga over the last 20+ years & teaching for 10+ years between Byron Bay, Darwin, and now back in my hometown Melbourne. Originally certified in Purna Yoga (RYT 500hrs, 2011) at the Byron Yoga Centre. With further training over the years in Pre/Post Natal Yoga, ZenThai Shiatsu, Yin Yoga, Myofascial Release & Yoga for Fertility, Embodied Flow, Somatic Movement Therapy, and Qigong. Currently, I’m engrossed in the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and building on my practice as a Shiatsu Therapist - I love weaving all this ancient wisdom and blending it with modern knowledge into these Shiatsu and Yin Yoga sessions.
Inspired by nature and the seasons we’ll be exploring the meridians within yin yoga poses, and how to support ourselves as energetic and cyclical beings within the greater cosmos. No matter where you're at come along. Classes are layered with options within the practice so that each student can co-curate their experience.
