Fijian: with Erin Poovey
Must be a licensed massage therapist to enroll.
No prerequisite needed – other than you MUST be a licensed massage therapist.
A versatile and very portable barefoot technique that can be used as-is, adapted to table work, assimilated into existing matwork sessions, and taken outdoors to events easily.
The work incorporates specific, deep pressure followed by a vigorous jostle movement to the larger muscle groups. Fijian Massage works with intensity by using our strong toes and bony aspects of our feet to create simple, rhythmic stroke repetitions. The versatility of the 8 moves that make up this technique allows for a wide range of possible ways to use it in your practice however “kneaded”!
This Fijian Barefoot Massage/Matwork 1 class can be a starting point as your 1st barefoot massage class, as a supplement to any existing matwork you already provide, or it can be used to grow your existing barefoot vocabulary and master more skills applied by your feet.
