Younis Fakhfakh

Workshop Title: Movement for Health Bios:

Younis Fakhfakh lives in Ireland, and has studied martial arts, body awareness, Amatsu and Japanese healing systems since 2002. He has taken the best from many oriental healing traditions and masters, bringing them to Ireland, where he practices and facilitates. He is the only Cheng Hsin facilitator and teacher in Ireland. Connection with the body's intelligence is at the heart of its movement, but on a practical level, it increases our body’s intrinsic strength. He incorporates the best techniques from both martial arts and Amatsu. The result is that movement becomes more fluid, relaxed, graceful, and completely integrated.

Saralee Cassidy has been practicing and teaching Seiki-soho (Japanese breathing awareness) through yearly events and gatherings.  She has ongoing connections with the international Seiki community, and wishes to bring Japan to Ireland. She says, ‘Japanese healing has the power to re-connect Ireland to its authentic natural wisdom, connection to nature, life and breath.' She is one of two Seiki practioners in Ireland and has an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work focuses on somato emotional release, physical therapies that create emotional and mental release from the body.

Workshop Blurb : Both therapists have come together to create a fusion of movement therapy for health combining Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Seiki and Body-Being. Such findings release personal restrictions and produce real feelings of well being, bringing the mind into a deeper presence

Both have over 30 years experience between them.
