Massage

Presented by: Steve

Friday Jul 10, 2009 Location in Waltham: 7:30 – 9:30 PM

In this class, Steve plans to demo methods in line with your requests, mainly massage that is comfortable for the giver as well as the receiver.  Simple body alignment and hands usage tips that prevent fatigue and injury.

The class will focus mostly on the massage giver, body mechanics that prevent injury and have the best effect on the receiver.  Shoulder, neck, back, butt and legs will be covered.  Steve will show effective body positions for those that use a massage table, a bed, or floor mats.  Hand positions and use, as well as bony landmarks to avoid.  Energy & power exchange will be included as well as how to properly end a massage.  Interaction and having fun while exchanging info is the goal.

Couples attendance is not prerequisite. Singles are welcome.  Bring Yoga mats, pillows, other support type cushions, thick towels.  Just try lying on a rug for a few minutes and see what you might need for support.
