balancing. You remove energy block- ages from the body and send energy to where it’s needed.”
Qi~ssage is a part of Spring For-
est Qigong practice and is a similar concept to Shiatsu because its focus is to stimulate energy points. “The beauty of Qi~ssage is that it’s very simple and it doesn’t take long to learn,” DouSh- in states. “It’s great for working with people who are older or have certain disabilities.” During Qi~ssage sessions clients typically sit in a chair, which is easier than lying down on a mat or get- ting onto a massage table. Clients can also take home what they’ve learned and treat themselves. Butoh is a contemporary Japanese art form that explores body movement and allows people to discover their own movement potential. Two types of Butoh classes are offered at HOTRA: Subbody Butoh and Resonance Move- ment. Subbody Butoh is for people who are interested in learning the specific art form of Butoh. Resonance Movement, also known as Healing Movement, fo- cuses on listening to the body, learning how it wants to move, and stimulating
energy flow.
What makes HOTRA different from other healing centers is that classes focus on students initially experiencing the movements and then on under- standing what the practice actually means. “It’s in our culture that we go into something headfirst. We have to know and gain knowledge before we start doing something,” Gadu says. Conversely, HOTRA encourages people to feel the movements organically, and then allow questions to develop as a natural response to what they felt. “In- formation without the direct experience doesn’t mean much, especially without the movement,” Gadu explains. “The important part is really experiencing how the energy moves through your body and just doing it.”

If I had my life to
live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.
