Details & Registration
14CE ASHIATSU IMMERSION TRAINING Level 2 Side Lying, Supine and Prone positions. Prerequisite: Barefoot Bar Basics course or equivalent (if using equivalent please contact charlene@elevatemassage.training for approval) and Licensed Massage Therapist (you will be asked to provide your license # and state)
Barefoot massage therapists with some experience working on the bars will enjoy learning a new sequence of techniques for client side-lying, prone and supine positions PLUS a set of Thai acupressure lines and points to improve touch accuracy and session effectiveness. Silks and straps attached securely to the bar support structure will open up a new dimension of movement that is unavailable when working on parallel bars alone. Additional props, such as towels, hot pillows and various sizes of bolsters are used throughout the class to enhance technique delivery and help you work smarter, not harder!
