Barefoot Shiatsu : Staff + Scarf with Randy Cummins
Barefoot Shiatsu is mat work, integrating the use of feet, knees, elbows, staff and scarf for the purpose of applying sustained pressure.
We follow general pathways of the classical meridians, focusing on typical stagnant and muscularly tight areas. Techniques will be demonstrated in supine, prone, and side-lying positions.
Emphasis is given towards fluidity of transition, and the seamless rhythmic application of techniques with proper body mechanics and breath awareness.
Participants will enjoy the freedom of using the whole body, will learn strategies to take the burden off their thumbs and wrists, and will learn deep and relaxing techniques to benefit a wide range of clients.
Learn from the master of this incredibly versatile modality. Whether you already offer barefoot massage or if you are just beginning your bodywork career, this modality will give you a new perspective to bodywork as well as portability to your practice!
