SOMATIC INSTITUTE FOR KNEADED PRACTICES

BACKROUND: Since 1997 I was working in the field of movement and movement therapy. With full certification from Stott/Merrithew Pilates between 2004-2016 I taught Pilates technique with machines as post­-rehabilitation and for professional dancers (also nearly the 5 years at my own studio at Simotas Building in Kuzguncuk, Istanbul). Introduced to Shiatsu and meridians by my dear teacher Eva Karczag (1997) in Arnhem, followed by Structural Integration Part I (KMI) certification with dear renaissance man Thomas Myers (2009) in Oxford, England. Since 2021 I am learning and practicing Shiatsu with big heart big experience Katrin Schröder at ESI (Europäische Shiatsu Institut Berlin), having completed Level 5 (contact hours over 300). As a Shiatsu practioner I am a ‘health practioner’ (bfG -Gesundheitspraktikerin) under the umbrella of DGAM  -German Society for Alternative Medicine. My practice is a dance between the somatic and artistic, between the aesthetic and therapeutic.

KNEADING PRACTICE 2022 and 2023 series are shiatsu sessions opened in limited time frames. Dear friends and colleagues attended with invitation. They came following their curiosity, to simply feel good, to help resolve chronic issues, to rest, to learn, also to be supported with touch, to move freely, to breathe deeply and to be inspired.
