For all the couples out there:

At Prana Endura Wellness Center, we’ve begun to offer a regular workshop for couples (and pairs of friends) to learn to massage each other with techniques that massage pros use!

While this offers an opportunity for individuals to learn how to massage effectively and for longer periods of time, I firmly believe that developing our skills in this area not only opens up an opportunity for us to feel good and help our loved ones, but delivers an opportunity for us to nourish our emotional relationships with the people that we love most. It is an effective way to communicate our affection in a way that our loved ones can experience and understand without words. How cool is that?

On top of this, I am often asked by clients: “How do you massage all day for multiple sessions? I can’t even massage my partner for ten minutes without getting tired!” The answer is quite simple. It is all in the technique. Using your fingers alone (which is the mistake most people make) can be exhausting. REALLY exhausting. In this workshop we teach couples how to massage each other and build comfort with using…

• Fingers
• Palms
• Fists
• Knuckles
• Elbows

We also talk about body mechanics, or how you use and move your body as you are massaging someone. Other subjects we will discuss: ideal surfaces and positions for better massage technique and greater ease, as well as personalized advice from professional massage therapists on what strategies would be best to help ease pain on a subject by subject basis. There’s lots of information to share, and it’s also an incredibly fun workshop to be a part of. I love teaching it! And we’d love to see you there!

If exploring this workshop interests you, or even if you’re just looking for a fun idea for date night, Check our schedule for upcoming dates and times. Please make sure that you reserve your spot as all workshops are limited to 6 pairs. Cost is $65 per couple.
