This Ashiatsu (barefoot bodywork) course is completely unique in that you will learn a total full-body application without using expensive props, equipment or requiring difficult build outs to your practice space! This practice is fully mobile and exceeds efficiency for both the practitioner and client above all other Ashiatsu learning styles.

​

Ashiatsu, or Barefoot Bodywork derives from a vast cultural lineage all across the world. Chavutti Thirumal from India, Kua Lua from Hawaii and traditional Fijian bodywork all lend their rich history and style to using the broad pressure of the foot to deliver deep, expansive pressure in a truly elevated sensory experience.

​

You will not only learn Ashiatsu as a stand-alone treatment, you will also learn to integrate elements of barefoot work into any style or approach you currently practice! EVERYONE can do this work, there are no restrictions to weight or skill level to fluently apply Ashiatsu.
