Katsugen is simple. Simply NOT DOING.
It is a regenerating movement that allows us to reconnect with and cultivate our original vitality. It helps us live well by regaining sensitivity to ourselves and our environment.
Katsugen Undō is a form of exercise that was established as part of the Japanese “health method” Seitai.
We, Alice and Alexandra, came across katsugen and Katsugen Undo through Kishi Akinobu, in connection with Sei-Ki. We believe that it is a very important practice for anyone practicing Sei-Ki, but also beyond.
In January 2024, we travelled to Japan together. One of our aims was to explore the roots of Sei-Ki. Following in Kishi’s footsteps, we set out to explore Seitai and Katsugen Undō. Our appreciation of this practice was refreshed and deepened by our experiences and we would like to share this with you.
Katsugen Undo is a powerful practice. While it appears simple to learn the basics, it can take time to “get it” and to get into it, and it is a practice that can go deep. We are aware of the responsibility which comes with sharing Katsugen Undo in an online course and are ready to guide and support you on your individual Katsugen journey.
is for anyone who has no or little experience in Katsugen Undo, as well as for anyone who has already practiced with us.
We will start with two longer sessions (120 minutes), including presentations and background information, as well as a detailed explanation of the introductory exercises, discussion within the group, and practicing together.
This will be followed by a series of (shorter) sessions, every second Wednesday evening, in which we will focus on practicing and any important feedback or questions.
The final session will be a longer one again, including final discussion and exchange within the group and any additional information.
Between the sessions, Alice and Alexandra will be available for any individual questions and feedback.
