Massage Essentials for EveryBody!

  • Hosted by TantraSD
  • San Diego, CA -

Massage essentials is a fun, interactive, hands-on experience for couples, singles, friends and even lovers to come and learn the foundations for a basic massage!

If you’ve ever wanted to learn massage, or wanted to be better at helping your friends, family or loved ones when they are in pain or need help to relax, but don’t have the time nor energy to enroll in a professional massage program then this workshop is for YOU!

We know the average person doesn’t have the time nor energy to invest in a 1000+ hour professional massage therapist program; so we’ve broke it down in a easy to learn, step-by-step workshop series to help you improve the quality of your touch with simple experiential classes that you can attend at your leisure.In this workshop you will learn:

  • Some anatomy basics to help guide your sense of touch!
  • Body Mechanics so you can massage for hours without hurting yourself!
  • Breathwork so you don’t wear yourself out!
  • Techniques you can use on your friends and family immediately!
  • Multiple Modalities for you to add to your massage toolkit!
  • Techniques you can do anywhere! (no table or special equipment needed).

As professional massage therapists we get asked by nearly everyone the same exact questions… How do you work without hurting your hands? How do you massage this or that part of the body? How do you apply more pressure without exhausting yourself?

In this informative hands-on workshop we will cover all of the above and more!The workshop will start with some basics of anatomy and body mechanics and then we will give a brief demo of the day's lessons. Then students will practice with each other while being supervised by a professional to help you deepen your understanding of energy, breathwork, anatomy and kinetics so that you can deliver a nourishing, healing touch to your friends, family and partners with utmost confidence!

Around the same time he found himself facing divorce, bankruptcy and homelessness. Determined to rise from these pitfalls he began to study holistic wellness, and Tantra to help heal his body, mind and spirit. Having prevailed over a rather bleak and almost hopeless dark night of the soul he experienced a spiritual awakening and discovered his true calling as a healer, and community builder.

When not at work doing what he loves, Shiva J can be found at a local internet cafe sipping a dirty chai latte, attending ecstatic dancing, a drum circle, or out hiking or biking local trails and if you can't find him at all, he has probably taken a sabbatical and gone hiking or camping someplace more exotic!

Shiva J is available for private sessions, workshops and retreats.
