Join us to learn how to use your hands to bring healing to your loved ones! No previous experience or special equipment necessary - just bring your curiosity, compassion and mindfulness in a spirit of learning and sharing. Instructors Elizabeth Shrader, Nicole Maisel and Ellie Conrad share their expertise with you to craft a healing massage session that addresses common areas of pain and stress in the head, neck, shoulders, back, hands and feet.
Sessions will be on a floor mat and participants should be comfortable getting up and down off the floor. We will incorporate the use of heated massage pillows ("Pillowsage"), warm towels and essential oils, and introduce basics of Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and myofascial release. Participants will want to wear comfortable clothing, such as athletic wear or yoga clothes.
Registration for two includes instruction, handouts, Ayurvedic and essential oil samples, demos and practice with instructor guidance. Bring whomever you love - partner, buddy, family or friend! Space is ADA-compliant, fully accessible, and gender-affirming.
NOTE: This class is designed for two people who feel comfortable giving and receiving touch from each other. Solo registrants are discouraged as they will not have partner to work with and should wait to sign up for a different class later in the season.
