What you need to bring to class:
One-sheet, one-face cradle cover and face cradle pillow.
Please come with pedicured feet or wear socks.
For therapists comfort please wear loose, clothing. Yoga capris or pants work best; if you wear yoga pants, we’ll roll the pant legs up to the knee. Men find basketball shorts or sweatpants to be most appropriate. Also, students need to please bring drinks and snacks. We provide water. During class, we will break for a short lunch.
Bring a mat and stool. We prefer a thick yoga or exercise mat, rather than a bulky one. Because the student will place the stool right next to the client, the stool is sometimes on the mat. For instance, if the mat is too thick, the stool will be unstable. A folding 17-inch stool will work fine. If you’re taller than 5’10” you may prefer a 24-inch stool. Also, students will need two pillows for your client to bolster the knees and a face cradle for the floor. We provide the face cradle frames in the workshop. Besides, one comes with the class – you’ll need your cushioned face rest to place over the frame.

Description:
Thai foot reflexology is a marriage between the ancient healing arts of reflexology, Chinese tuina, Japanese shiatsu and Indian Ayurvedic yoga. Thai reflexology is easy and fun to learn and incorporate into your existing practice. Working with the feet, lower legs and knees, this 2000 year old, highly reputed session frees up blocked energy within the body’s many sen lines (Thai- based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being.
Unlike conventional western reflexology, Thai reflexology takes a relatively short time to learn. This is because the session follows a protocol, rather than relying on extensive education and practice to create an effective session.
In this class you will learn:
★ the history and philosophy behind Thai foot reflexology
★ how to give a gentle 60-minute traditional Thai reflexology session
★ the names and locations of the 6 major sen lines located in the feet & lower legs
★ the body systems and health issues governed by the sen lines
★ placement of conventional reflexology points along the sen lines
★ the difference between Thai reflexology and conventional western reflexology
★ how to incorporate hydrotherapy in your Thai reflexology session
★ how to choose efficacious lubricants for a Thai reflexology session
★ how to prepare and care for your Thai foot stick.
You will be given an illustrated manual, Thai foot stick and a bottle of organic Thai oil.
Preparation:
Wear clothes that allow access to your lower legs and knees, and slip-on shoes that you can remove quickly and easily. Please be familiar with the bones of the lower legs and feet.

Ashiatsu Bar Massage Training Class - Chico, CA
2018-04-06 09:00 - 2018-04-08 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Chico, CA, 40 Constitution Drive, Suite E, Chico, CA, 95973, United States
3-Day Class Incl: Digital Manual & Video · Bar Schematics · 24 CE · Free Ethics ·Certification · Chico, CA·
Ahh…shiatsu® Bar massage is a trademarked form of Ashiatsu Bar Therapy. We base this barefoot wonder on an ancient Ayurvedic practice of Chavutti Thirummal. In addition, our training classes and seminars combine Swedish, Myofascial, and compression techniques. The massage therapist applies their feet to the body of the client. Thereby, giving the hands and thumbs a rest.
Ashiatsu is an art, where the feet glide over the contours of the client’s body. So, the pressure can be as light as a Swedish massage or the deepest massage a therapist can give. We change and adjust our course program to fit your needs. The workshop focuses on the hands-on technique of Ashiatsu. Also, we do not claim that we own massage or invented it. Likewise, massage therapists are creative, intelligent, independent free-spirited thinkers. So we want to keep it that way. The Barefoot Masters® is the largest barefoot massage provider in the country.
WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM STAND OUT?
The overhead or floor Barefoot Bars are for balance and support. You do not have to have a lot of upper body strength to perform Ashiatsu. Furthermore, there are no height or weight restrictions. The massage table must sustain both the weight of the client and the therapist. Ashiatsu treatments are a more efficient application of deep tissue massage.
The pressure is constant and maintained. Barefoot massage creates circulation. More circulation brings about faster healing. Ashiatsu brings about a relaxed state. In fact, this state of well-being lasts for hours after a massage service. Clients don’t walk out of a session – they float.
USE OF BARS FOR BALANCE AND SUPPORT
NO HEIGHT OR WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
PRESSURE IS CONSTANT AND EVENLY MAINTAINED
CREATES MORE CIRCULATION
THERAPIST FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE PERFORMED A DANCE INSTEAD OF A WORKOUT
THIS THERAPY IS A MORE BALANCED APPROACH TO MASSAGE
The first deep tissue of the day is as good as the last one. There is none of the usual pain associated with deep tissue massage for therapist or client. The therapist gains strength, knowledge, and grace. While at the same time adding diversity and vitality to their workday. So you can do more of what you love, forever.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE ASHIATSU BAREFOOT MASSAGE BASIC CLASS
Ashiatsu training is an intensive and fun class. We dedicate this course to the preservation of the bodyworker. The Barefoot technique can feel very awkward in the beginning.
DIGITAL MANUAL: The Ashiatsu course manual consists of pictures with descriptions. As well as instructions that cover the entire anterior and posterior routine.
VIDEO: We view the video during the workshop as part of the course plan. We use most of the class training to hands-on application of Ashiatsu technique.
LECTURE TIME: This time use is for discussing marketing and contraindications.
The final part of the seminar is spent putting the routine together, so it flows. The trainee will perform a 20-minute practical on the instructor. We use this time to fine tune the movements, pressure, and placement of the application. The primary goal of the course is to ensure the success of every therapist in the class.
Contraindications for the class are the following. Those who have had implant surgery for less than nine months or pregnancy.
Cost for the class is $575 per person. We accept cash, check, and credit card payments. This fee includes digital course manual and instructional video! There is a $50. the non-refundable fee for any cancellations. Half of the class fee is non-refundable 31 days before the workshop. And we apply all but $50. to a home study or another training date conducted by the same instructor within a year. Class size is 6. Please give at least one-month cancelation notice. As there is typically a waiting list of others that could take your spot given enough time to prepare.
This class is a 24 hour CE course over a 3-day session; hours are from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm for day one, two and three. There are breaks during class, but, please come to class well rested! Trainees need to bring snacks. A refrigerator is available for drink storage. On day one, we will eat lunch out and discuss marketing over the meal. Bring 3 fitted sheet, face cradle cover, and one over-sized heavy towel for draping. Therapists need to have their feet pedicured and wear no toe or ankle jewelry. You may want to bring a pair of house shoes to wear while training to keep your bare feet off the floor.
Also, therapists, please wear loose, comfortable clothing. Yoga capris or pants work best; if you wear yoga pants, we’ll roll the pant legs up to the knee. Men find basketball shorts or sweatpants to be most appropriate.

Massage for Joint Pain: Upper Body (Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist)

8 CEUs
(This course can be taken as a 16 hour course with lower body for $400)
In this fast paced world of non-stop action, on-the-go lifestyles, and little time to rest and properly care for our bodies, our joints get overused, stressed, injured, and create limited range of motion. With safe stretching, strengthening and care, our joints can begin to repair themselves and eliminate and/or drastically reduce pain. This course is broken into two sections; upper body and lower body. In the upper body portion, we will focus on the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints. Stretching techniques such as PNF, AIS, Thai Massage, and MET will be explored, along with more advanced techniques such as Neuromuscular, Myofascial release, and trigger point therapy.
