As we move our clients, we awaken a three dimensional sense of the body. Please join Dean for a weekend focusing on the integration of movement into
your massage session. In this class we will explore possibilities for utilizing passive movements to assess and address patterns of tension and restrictions in the body. We will learn gentle rocking and shaking techniques as well as joint articulations as a means of freeing and connecting the entire body. When adding movement into our massage toolbox, our focus will be on making smooth transitions between these movements and the flowing Esalen approach.
This class is open to experienced Esalen massage and other massage professionals.
