Shin Tai Structural Alignment: Part I & II
Part I: March 20-23
Part II: April 3-6, 2025
Instructors: Lynn Goodman
Learn a system of safe, reliable and effective structural assessment and passive correction techniques for the hip structure, sacrum, and vertebrae. Participants learn a full assessment and corrective protocol which can assist clients in experiencing more mobility, alignment and a higher level of function. Working with the structure in this way brings a practitioner to a whole new level of professional capacity. Saul considers these tools a necessary part of every bodyworker’s skill set.
Please note: You can register for just Part II, which covers the sacral adjustments, but you must have taken Part I at some point in the past.
Governing Vessel & the Spine
Learn a comprehensive evaluation and treatment protocol for governing vessel. Governing Vessel is the first energy current that develops after conception. It serves to govern the development of the other meridians, chakras, organs and the rest of the body's physiology. The spine itself is the material manifestation of this governing vessel energy. By working with the spine through a certain perceptual awareness, you will learn new ways to diagnosis and treat that touch the core potential of a person. This work activates the ability to not only heal, but develop and evolve.

Central Channel
The Central Channel is a circuit of energy that moves along the pathway of the spinal cord. Using non-force techniques, practitioners learn to identify and work with six distinct stages of stress to release and reintegrate trapped life force. Release of meningal stress patterns helps to improve a myriad of physical problems along with increasing emotional, mental and spiritual health. This class is for practitioners who have already taken Governing Vessel or Conception Vessel. Many students repeat Central Channel, since it usually takes extensive practice to use skillfully.

Light Body Activation Part III
We continue with anchoring the light body faculties within the human life. Utilizing the skills obtained in the previous two modules, this course deep dives into healing the physical body, mobilizing the life force and further aligning our life activities with the power of the soul path. By regulating the chakra flow together with the cranial rhythm we are able to increase life force distribution to organs and glands via nerve plexus and fascial tissue in real time.
There will be an option to participate in this course via video livestream if you live at least 2 hours from the shiatsu school.
Advanced Central Channel
The first central channel course focuses on creating a linear model for releasing stress patterns of the governing vessel and the deep fascia.

The advanced module further defines the use of the proprioceptive suggestion in order to facilitate faster and deeper release of stress patterns.
