This is where it all starts for everyone ...the basics. This 3 day introductory course is designed to teach massage professionals how to administer the ultimate barefoot effleurage application. Our work may look easy through editorials and photos but in reality, it takes strength, balance and coordination to deliver this barefoot application with flow and grace. We have some fitness levels /weight guidelines associated with taking the Barefoot Basics class. Your instructor Jeni is more than happy to discuss through photos and verbal descriptions of the upper arm and core strength you should have to participate & deliver a comfortable session to your receiving partner.
The parallel bars suspended from the ceiling are used for balance, control and leverage.
