Advanced Ashiatsu : Two Feet 21CE Weekend Immersion

Our Ashiatsu courses are designed to build upon the principles of professional touch that are taught in massage school. Therefore, we require our students to have a license to practice massage therapy as a prerequisite to taking our Ashiatsu courses. Having this prerequisite allows us to place a strong focus on technique application during our classes. Our courses are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. 

To complete this Level 2 training you will need to have taken the Level 1 Barefoot Bar Basics. You'll need to have a significant amount of upper body and core strength to control your body weight and pressure during this class along with clients who are willing and able to enjoy the pressure of your full body weight. LMTs who truly plan to add Two Footed Ashiatsu to their menu of services must already have a set of bars constructed to work on in their space. Post-class practice is considered the self-study component to this CE course. 

Course Title : Advanced Ashiatsu Level 2 Supine and Prone Positions. First, warm up one side of the the body at a time with a series of one and two footed ashiatsu techniques that flow from head to toe. Learn creative transitions for smoothing out your sequence then turn it up a notch with a full on two feet flow that will take your ashiatsu practice to the next level. It's an intense three days that will leave you with a brand new love for the experience of barefoot massage. 

At the end of this weekend immersion training LMTs will receive a CE certificate of completion to verify board approved continuing education and satisfy massage licensure renewal requirements. Additionally, LMTs will have a unique sequence of barefoot massage techniques that can be used as a treatment and integrated in with other techniques as indicated with each client.
