Sōtai was invented by Dr. Keizo Hashimoto a Japanese doctor from Sendai.
It is a powerful Self-Care therapy that involves a series of simple exercises and movements to bring structural harmony to the body. Very often, human beings sabotage and block their free & happy engagement with the natural environment. This is due to long-standing blocks & disturbances within their muscular system, their breathing patterns and their minds. “Be Easy Sōtai” is Rex’s own unique approach to Dr. Hashimoto’s discovery.
