Soul of Skin Training – Esalen-inspired Massage

This Esalen-inspired massage is a sensitive, gentle full-body oil massage. Slow, flowing strokes over the whole body, gently swaying movements and passive joint work in harmony with breathing create deep relaxation, harmonious balance and a sharper perception of your own body.

Esalen-inspired massage supports the body’s and mind’s natural ability to heal itself and improves blood and lymph circulation. The special, present way of touching increases the body awareness of both the giving and the receiving person. The massage is more of an inward journey than a therapeutic treatment.

The workshop teaches a full body massage sequence. Basic aspects of giving massages are also taught. This includes the inner attitude, how your own body and your own presence can be used optimally during the massage and how needs and limits on both sides are taken into account.
