Introduction to bodywork for Reiki Practitioners.

This is a hands on course where you will learn:

• gentle joint mobilization techniques to release old holding patterns and create more openings in the body

• how to tune in to your clients unique rhythm to create the right pace of movements for the treatment

• how to communicate with and be present with your clients body/mind/spirit

• how to use breath work in combination with bodywork

This class is a playful exploratory approach to bodywork. The movements are gentle but work DEEP in the body/mind/spirit to assist the client in letting go of old tension, emotions and/or memories that may be causing restrictions in the energy body. The rhythmic client centered approach will leave your client with a feeling of lightness and bliss.

The class size is small, so sign up early!
I recommend you sign up with a friend so you have someone to practice the techniques with after the class.

Class date:
TBA in Squamish
10am-6pm
(there will be a break. please bring a light meal with you!)

cost: $150
Please email Mary - marysbodywork@gmail.com - for more info
