Sabino Tamborra actor, dancer and personal trainer, studies and works in Milan; since 1997 until today he has guided workshops in theatre schools, art academies and fitness centers. He has built his methodology on the development of butoh dance techniques, contemporary dance, Zen stretching and massage. His work mainly focuses on recognizing and releasing tension in the meridians in order to improve the functioning of the organs and body elasticity.
At the moment, he works in various centers for alternative therapies across Italy, (in Naples, Bologna, Lecce and Milan), as well as in the UK and Germany as a visiting Zen Stretching and Dance facilitator. He has presented his work in London in two occasions: in October at the Synergy Centre, (Oval); and in November at the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre where he is now offering his teachings regularly to the local community.
Zen Stretching - History & Charachteristics
The practice of Zen Stretching was developed by Shizuto Masunaga, the last great Shiatsu Master. His intention was that of offering to people that could not afford Shiatsu treatments, a way to work on their physical condition, by working on the principle of the meridians to diagnose and cure a number of diseases.
He thus introduced the concept of self-healing by effectively stimulating the energy flow in the body.
The peculiarity of the Zen Stretching technique lies in the use of visualization and of breathing techniques to improve the energy flow in the whole body, rather than in the single parts acting in the movement.
The characteristics of the Zen Stretching exercises are:
- Minimum physical effort required
- Mind and body relaxation
- Improving the functioning of the organs
- Improving the body’s elasticity
- Deepening one’s awareness
Exercising will no longer require effort and time: in fact, 10 or 15 minutes of a correct practice are enough to bring the person back to a well balanced mental and physical condition.
Zen stretching is a way to stimulate the natural power of self-healing innate in each of us. It shows to everybody, with no age limits, how to work with the meridians and improve one’s own health without having to recur to invasive therapies.
