About
Frank Davis and his team at the Bath School of Shiatsu and Yoga bring a unique blend of Shiatsu and Yoga training to sports enthusiasts in Bath, United Kingdom. Established in 2000, this institution is dedicated to a holistic approach to health and well-being, combining the power of these disciplines.
The cornerstone of the Bath School is their three-year professional Shiatsu training programme. With a nationally recognised qualification at the end, graduates leave well-prepared for their careers. Class sizes are kept to fourteen students, ensuring each participant gets the attention needed to excel.
For those looking to balance out their training, the school also runs drop-in yoga classes. These classes accommodate various experience levels and are designed to complement the Shiatsu training. The flexible structure enables students to progress at their own pace, whether they want to finish in one go or take breaks between sections.
Quality education is a priority here. Comprehensive notes, continuous assessments, and exams keep students on track. Learning covers both Oriental medicine and Western anatomy, physiology, and pathology, along with counselling skills.
Beyond regular classes, the school offers private tuition for tailored support. Students benefit from supervision and practice classes, along with regular stress management workshops and post-graduate sessions to refine their skills.
All this is led by Frank Davis MRSS (T), who’s been immersed in Shiatsu and Yoga since the mid-80s. Frank’s dynamic teaching style, combined with his active practice and nine weekly Yoga classes, provides students with invaluable learning experiences.
Heidi Armstrong MRSS (T) coordinates the curriculum. Since 2003, Heidi has brought her expertise in maternity care and complementary therapies to the school. She also runs CPD courses in women's health and Chinese medicine for reflexologists and massage therapists.
