ROPE MASSAGE
Shibari ropes can also be used as a bodywork tool. In this workshop we will learn how to use them in a purely therapeutic way. We will understand, through practice, the central points of this technique, learning to give complete sessions of up to 40 minutes. 

The techniques are based on Shiatsu principles and allows simple, deep and simultaneous access to various body tissues. The massage is done with clothes on, on the floor and the "touch" is mainly with the ropes. They allow us to work with the weight of the receiver's body, thus reaching the perfect pressure needed to work on the meridians and acupressure points of the body. In this way, as well as working on muscles, tendons and ligaments, we are also accessing internal organs and body systems. And it is wonderfully simple to learn! It can be an interesting tool to add, if you are a Bodyworker or Shibari practitioner, but no previous Shibari or massage knowledge is necessary! 

PART A

We will work on the region of the back, legs and internal organs using a single rope and without any type of knot. 

We will start with an explanation and demonstration of the techniques. Then I will guide you to give a complete session, we will make a pause and change roles. During the workshop, all participants will experience giving and receiving a full 45" session.

PART B 

We will work more specifically on the back, concentrating on the upper back, arms, shoulders, shoulder blades and neck.

In addition to an explanation and introduction to the technique, I will teach you how to create a holding structure for the arms so we can work freely on the upper body. I will lead you through a 45" session, we will make a pause and switch roles. All participants will experience giving and receiving a full session.

Please come with comfortable, long and if possible form-fitting clothes + a lungi or nice cloth to cover the mats. Please arrive early, we start on time.
