Description

This workshop has been cancelled.

Sukha Wong wants to walk all over you!

Ashiatsu is a method of massage in which the therapist gently walks barefoot on a client's back, using stools, chairs, and other props to support and vary pressure and weight. If you are a massage therapist or other professional bodyworker and want to learn Ashiatsu massage, Wong wants to show you how.

In a step-by-step approach, you learn how to glide your feet along the body and work with senlines (energy lines) and marma points (acupressure points) as you incorporate gentle stretches. This training also includes a history of Ashiatsu, a summary of its therapeutic benefits, and an overview of safety measures when giving an Ashiatsu massage. Ashiatsu massage is an effective treatment for pain in the lower back, neck, hamstrings, and thighs, and is a fantastic additional skill for any Thai yoga massage practitioner who normally works with clients on the floor. It is also a wonderful alternative for other experienced massage therapists and bodyworkers.

By the training's end each participant will know how to give a 60-minute Ashiatsu massage.
