Ambria Mathew, Ph.D., spent over a decade sharing her passion for Yoga & Ayurveda Holistic Wellness worldwide. She has been a witness to the healing power of yoga, and how it transcends age, language, and cultural diversity. After studying various forms of bodywork, she graduated from The Ohashi Institute in 2010. Her knowledge of shiatsu, with regard to the meridians and the Five Elements, runs parallel to the aspects of Chakras, Nadis, and Five Elements as taught in Yoga & Ayurveda, to help find balance and rejuvenate the body for practitioners. Kumiko Kanayama believes that shiatsu is a good fit for a yoga therapist’s practice. Shiatsu harnesses the power of touch, elevating it to a new level of sensitivity enhancing the client’s experience. Shiatsu teaches body mechanics that focus on the therapist’s core or Hara, allowing practitioners the ability to work longer, not harder. All shiatsu techniques are easily adapted to almost any professional yoga practice. At The Five Lights Center, our motto is: The Power of Touch™. Located in New York City, the center is the oldest shiatsu practice in America and dedicated solely to training and supporting the shiatsu community through its educational programs, social media connectivity, and the weekly Global Shiatsu Virtual Gatherings. Please join The Five Lights Center on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and visit our website to learn more about our educational programs, live stream classes and the virtual Eastern Healing Arts Center.
