About this event
Esalen massage is a unique type of bodywork developed at the Esalen Institute on the coast of Big Sur. It is known for its long integrative strokes, inspired by the waves of the Ocean. This deeply relaxing healing art will affect your mind, body, and spirit; Esalen’s signature long strokes facilitate feelings of wholeness, connection, and healing integration. Throughout this workshop, you will be learning massage methods that address the whole body.
