Chair Massage Class – 12 Hours

The training process consists mainly of hands-on work by the students. Rotating teams of two or three (practitioner, recipient, observer) students per chair are guided through four phases of instruction with demonstration and practice:

Phase I: Short focused methods on specific regions of the body (neck, shoulder, lumbar, etc....)
Phase II: Longer sessions combining the first techniques with transitional movements.
Phase III: Practice to acquire efficiency and confidence in the methodology to accomplish a thorough treatment within a fixed time frame (10 minutes and 20 minutes).
Phase IV: Additional techniques for specific problems frequently encountered (i.e., sciatica, computer malaise, lumbar disc inflammation, etc.) and unifying movements to complete the treatment: complementary breathwork, visualization, etc.

0601-03.jpg (3972 bytes)Discussions are interspersed throughout each phase during breaks and include features and characteristics of various chairs, opportunities and applications for this format, experiences, as well as questions and answer periods. A relaxed and informal atmosphere with beautiful views of the mountains provides the setting for these classes.

Whether you expect to use this teaching simply to help family cope with tension/discomfort or desire professional abilities...

Prior Massage Training is Not Necessary.

Although many massage therapists have benefited from acquiring these unique techniques and expanding their work, this class offers an excellent beginning for the individual who wants to see if bodywork might be for them. Without tremendous commitments of time or money, you can learn skills which may be applied to a new career.

Work from the heart:

Training consists of demonstration/repetition of a wide assortment of Eastern & Western methods. Hands-on intensive practice of flowing sequences engage the entire body to help release stress, tension and discomfort.

Esoteric Spirituality:

In addition to the above physical plane instruction, principles will be offered applying to subtle multidimensional aspects, however, the result obtained in these more esoteric realms will be highly individual and subjective. Depending upon a person's path and progress, Spirit's unfoldment of these elements will vary greatly.
