PacShin

PacShin Shintaido is a unique combination of martial arts and body movement that cultivates the spirit along with the mind and body.

PacShin is a non-profit organization that promotes the practice of Shintaido throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, coordinating classes, organizing special workshops, and providing the public with information about Shintaido. I has been called a moving meditation. In Japanese, Shintaido means "new body way." Shintaido's forms exemplify openness and freedom. The movements of Shintaido provide a ne

w way of experiencing our relationship with ourselves, others, nature, and the spiritual world. Shintaido is also a healing art, and a form of artistic expression, which attracts people who are interested in change, self-development, and reconnecting with their bodies, their community, and the spiritual nature. Shintaido is, in turn, relaxed, strenuous, soft, and expansive--a complete body language. Shintaido is open to everyone and can be enjoyed by athletic and un-athletic alike. Students are encouraged to expand their range of movements and work at their own pace.
