Meditation & Yoga Self Care Weekend w/ Sally Raspberry

In this weekend of Self Care, massage therapists will learn how to ground and center themselves in order to create better boundaries for working with the public. In this weekend of meditation and yoga therapists will learn simple ways to recover their energy more quickly after exhausting massage sessions, as well as how to wake up every morning in a body that feels tension-free and pain-free!

These skills can also serve as a tutorial so therapists can teach their clients how to meditate and effectively stretch their muscles between massage sessions, thus making bodywork more effective for the client and less taxing on the practitioner.
