<p><h3>Supervised by Qualified Shiatsu Teachers</h3></p>
<p>Attendance at Supervised Practices (SP) is mandatory for Shiatsu Practitioner (Professional Licence)
Course students, strongly recommended for Intermediate Diploma students, and encouraged
for Practical Certificate students. </p>
<p>SPs are included in the course fee for all <st1:place u2:st="on"><st1:placename u2:st="on">Zen <st1:placetype u2:st="on">School students.
Visiting students will be welcome for a donation - <a href="ls_notices.html">see NoticeBoard</a></p>
<p>SPs will be generally be facilitated by a qualified Teacher who will give observations, corrections
and feedback and, for Shiatsu Practitioner (Professional
Licence) Course students, record the observations in their Feeedback File.</p>
<p> SP Teachers may be assisted or, when not available substituted, by a trainee teacher.</p>
<p>Supervisors will focus on observation and not make up a pair. Students can expect to work in pairs or threes.</p>
<p>Supervisors will focus more on ki-connection, working from hara and maintaining
correct pressure than on demonstrating/practising new techniques.</p>
<p>SPs will generally run from 6.30 to 8.30 pm on the THIRD WEDNESDAY of the month except in August, December
and the Easter break. Dates will be advertised
on the school notice-board <a href="ls_notices.html">http://www.learn-shiatsu.co.uk/ls_notices.htm</a></p>
<p>Attendance at SPs is recommended to Intermediate students: a tutor-specified number of SPs will be mandatory
for those who show lack of ki-connection in the Intermediate Practical classes or their
pre- and Assessment sessions.</p>
<p><b>FEEDBACK GUIDELINES TO OFFER STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR KI-CONNECTION</b></p>
<p>"If a Receiver or Observer notices you've moved or removed your hands then you've lost the connection..."</p>
<p>POINTS TO WATCH FOR</p>

<li>Stagnant Posture: too much on heels</li>
<li>Poor Structure: overhanging</li>
<li>Casual touch especially in transition</li>
<li>Twisted or blocked Hara </li>

<li>Distal: hands reaching out too far</li>
<li>Knees too far apart </li>
