Massage is a wonderful way for couples to support one another through conscious, loving, receptive touch. It contributes to more vibrancy and serenity in our work, play, sleep, and sexuality. There is no denying the power of touch, which is enhanced by Jeff and Jennifer’s inclusion of meditation, movement, and yoga into their teaching. As Breema® puts it, “Connection to the body is the first step toward the taste of being fully present and knowing I exist. Harmony between our mind, feelings, and body is the key to a healthy life.”
In this workshop, we learn specific hands-on techniques, intuitive approaches, and ways to be mindful of the intent that we put into healing touch. We will also explore:
- proper body mechanics in giving a massage
- breathing exercises and partner yoga
- meditation and quiet centering techniques
- moving and stretching
- self-massage, reflexology, and Self-Breema®
- massage for common ailments
- relaxation through group sharing and humor
In a warm and supportive atmosphere, each couple draws on aspects that work best with their own needs and experiences. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or professional, the breadth of material covered will enhance your connection to your partners and bring more empathy and energy into your daily life.
