Kiatsu School Program

The Kiatsu School program is built around five weekend seminars based on the teaching of Koichi Tohei sensei that occur periodically throughout the year. The seminar material is then reviewed and training is individualized in two and one half hour evening classes once a week. Minimum participation is one evening class every two weeks. Students who attend all available classes and seminars will complete the program in about 30 months. Many students with busy lives will choose to take longer. Training is individualized to accommodate each person's needs.

Classes are small allowing for ample personal attention. Students learn to do self Kiatsu and improve their own health as well as learning to press others. The school is the only licensed Kiatsu School outside of Japan. It is certified by Ki Society headquarters and teaches universal principles as taught by Koichi Tohei Sensei.

Post Graduate Training

Many students continue their training after graduation both to continue learning and because the classes are relaxing and rewarding at any level. A formal five year program is also available for selected students seeking instructor status.

Full time and part time programs

Full time students will attend classes twice a week. Classes are three hours in duration. New class sessions start in the months associated with Seminars 1, 2 and 3.

Full time students (attending twice per week) will require 28 months to complete the course requirements.

Part time students (attending about 1.5 classes per week) will require about 40 months to complete the course.

To start your training early

Sometimes students want to get started before the beginning of a new Kiatsu School session. If you are one of these people, you are encouraged to begin Ki training. Participation in Ki training is also encouraged for active Kiatsu students and graduates. There is no additional charge for Personal Kiatsu School students. Ki training is included in Kiatsu School fees.

It is very valuable in broadening and deepening a student's ability to relax and focus and to maintain excellent physical, mental and spiritual posture throughout each day.
