Compression and Stretches

This class is comprised of stretches with compression drawn from Judith’s experience over the past 40 years in yoga, acupressure, Shiatsu and Tai massage. The techniques presented originated in traditional Chinese and Indian Ayruvedic healing traditions and have been in use for thousands of years for a very practical reason …they work! The therapist uses hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms, feet, and knees to press and stretch the entire body. Techniques will be shown for standing, sitting (chair and floor) as well as prone and supine lying down positions (floor and table). Their effect is to clear energy pathways, elongate muscles, free joints, massage internal organs, oxygenate the blood through breathing, induce postural allignment and quiet the mind…all for both the receiver and the giver. The techniques can be adapted for use in any form of bodywork you currently practice.

Please bring a notebook and pen, a queen sized mat or thick blankets for floor work, and a massage chair if you wish to work on one. Bring also regular massage supplies (sheets, etc); massage tables are provided.
