OSLOBAĐANJE DIJAFRAGME I PSOASA - Paul Banester
BREATH IS LIFE
Dvodnevna praktična radionica koja objedinjuje Shiatsu, Thai masažu i Osteothai s Paulom Banesterom.
Nakon Balkans Shiatsu Summita održanog u Zagrebu u travnju ove godine, veliko nam je zadovoljstvo ponovno ugostiti Paula Banestera. Ovoga puta dolazi na dvodnevnu praktičnu radionicu tijekom koje će podijeliti svoj jedinstveni pristup radu s dahom, dijafragmom i psoasom.
S više od četrdeset godina iskustva u radu s tijelom i pokretom, Paul u svom radu objedinjuje Zen Shiatsu, Thai Massage i Osteothai. Već više od dva desetljeća profesionalno se bavi shiatsuom, predaje u različitim europskim školama te vodi radionice diljem Europe. Njegov rad obogaćen je iskustvom iz joge, tajlandske masaže, kraniosakralne terapije i ayurvedske masaže, stvarajući jedinstven i cjelovit pristup radu s tijelom.
O RADIONICI
"Sitting is the new smoking."
Suvremeni način života često znači mnogo sati provedenih sjedeći – za računalom, u automobilu ili pred ekranom. Dugotrajno sjedenje ograničava prirodno kretanje tijela, a može utjecati i na slobodu dijafragme, područje psoasa, držanje te kvalitetu daha. Upravo iz tog konteksta dolazi poznata poruka "Sitting is the new smoking" – podsjetnik da tijelo nije stvoreno za dugotrajnu nepomičnost. Na ovoj ćemo radionici istražiti kako kroz integraciju Shiatsua, Thai masaže i Osteothaija osloboditi dijafragmu i psoas te podržati prirodan, puniji dah i slobodnije kretanje cijelog tijela.
TIJEKOM RADIONICE RADIT ĆEMO NA
• oslobađanju dijafragme i psoasa
• radu na hari
• točkama koje podržavaju slobodniji i kvalitetniji dah
• mobilizacijama i tehnikama suspenzije
• harmonizacijskim i vibracijskim tehnikama
• komplementarnim tehnikama inspiriranima Thai masažom i Osteothai pristupom koje se prirodno integriraju u shiatsu praksu.
KOME JE RADIONICA NAMIJENJENA
Radionica je namijenjena praktičarima i studentima shiatsua, thai masaže, osteothaija te drugih srodnih bodywork disciplina. Kako bismo osigurali kvalitetan individualni pristup, broj sudionika ograničen je na 20 sudionika.

BREATH IS LIFE
A two-day hands-on workshop integrating Shiatsu, Thai Massage and Osteothai with Paul Banester.
Following the Balkans Shiatsu Summit held in Zagreb this April, we are delighted to welcome Paul Banester back to Zagreb. This time, he will be joining us for a two-day hands-on workshop, sharing his unique approach to working with the breath, diaphragm and psoas.
With more than forty years of experience in bodywork and movement, Paul brings together Zen Shiatsu, Thai Massage and Osteothai in his work. He has been practising Shiatsu professionally for more than two decades, teaches at various schools across Europe and leads workshops throughout Europe. His work is further enriched by his experience in yoga, Thai Massage, craniosacral therapy and Ayurvedic massage, creating a unique and holistic approach to working with the body.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
"Sitting is the new smoking."
Modern life often means spending many hours sitting – at a computer, in a car or in front of a screen. Prolonged sitting restricts the body's natural movement and can also affect the freedom of the diaphragm, the psoas area, posture and the quality of our breath.
This is the context behind the well-known phrase "Sitting is the new smoking" – a reminder that our bodies are not designed for prolonged inactivity.
In this workshop, we will explore how the integration of Shiatsu, Thai Massage and Osteothai can help release the diaphragm and psoas, supporting a more natural, fuller breath and greater freedom of movement throughout the body.
DURING THE WORKSHOP, WE WILL WORK WITH:
• techniques for releasing the diaphragm and psoas
• work on the hara
• points that support freer and fuller breathing
• mobilisations and suspension techniques
• harmonising and vibrational techniques
• complementary techniques inspired by Thai Massage and Osteothai that can be naturally integrated into Shiatsu practice
WHO IS THE WORKSHOP FOR?
The workshop is intended for practitioners and students of Shiatsu, Thai Massage, Osteothai and other related bodywork disciplines.
To ensure a high-quality learning experience and individual attention, the number of participants is limited to 20.
