How can existing Ashiatsu therapists learn FasciAshi?

If you are a Myofascial Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage therapist, the Center for Barefoot Massage wants you and your Ashiatsu skill level to continue to grow.  We want you to continually be self-aware and conscious of how you are applying barefoot massage daily. We want you to question and expand your approach, but check back into the foundations of its body mechanics and intentions. We want you to grow to understand the aspects of the work that you didn’t quite “get” during class – and we want you to continually discover new aspects of the material that you never noticed before. We have FOUR ways for you to support your advancement in this style of massage, and blend the new strokes in with the old, to dive deeper into the material we present, to know it inside and out. These retraining opportunities allow you to revisit your Ashiatsu technique and biomechanics, while infusing it with FasciAshi’s innovative myofascial approaches to how you apply pressure through your feet.

If you want to be a Jedi Master at Ashiatsu, training and retraining is key.

Revitalize

[ree-vahyt-l-ahyz]

verb (used with object), re·vi·tal·ized, re·vi·tal·iz·ing.

1. to give new life to.

2. to give new vitality or vigor to.

Synonyms: Restore, replenish, revive. Refresh, rejuvinate, resuscitate.

Revitalize your ashiatsu practice 1 day at a time in an existing FasciAshi class.

This is intended specifically for FasciAshi students. You are retaking a FasciAshi class you’ve already attended, welcome back! What you learned in your FasciAshi training may not have stuck to your brain 100%, so Revitalizers are a way to audit a class and relearn what you had learned. Many times, now that you are more confident in aspects of the work, your brain and body are more open to learn the subtle, underlying information we were trying to teach in class. It just didn’t stick back then – no worries! Adults learn in layers, this is another layer of info to slather onto your work!

In a Revitalizer class, you’ll be paired with another bodywork buddy so that you two can follow along, giving and receiving the new strokes, having fun on the bars, observing and participating in every technique while it’s being taught by our experienced faculty. All this at the normal classroom pace. If time allows, the instructor will be able to come over to your table and give you some individualized attention, but please keep in mind that the instructor has to focus on the new, full-price-paying students who are in class for the 1st time. You are here to be a sponge as you give and receive the massage, watching, listening, feeling and absorbing information through all your senses!

This class is GREAT for Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage learners who better retain information in a detailed classroom environment.

In your Revitalize class, you will have a chance to give and receive the work in a relaxed pace so that you can learn or review the new strokes, but you WILL NOT receive a workbook/manual or access to any post-class support videos showing the strokes presented in class. This is because we want to you utilize the workbook already provided to you when you originally attended this FasciAshi course. Your chance to observe or participate in student clinic rounds may not be offered in Revitalize classes, depending on the situation of that class.  However, YOU WILL get to hear every presentation and group discussion scheduled on those days of training: such as “Launching your Ashiatsu Service,” explanation of the therapeutic theories to infuse within your strokes, and of course, you’ll hear our enlightening “DISCussion and Contraindications” lectures.

Keep in mind that only our regularly offered full-priced, full-length classes offer the full instruction workbook/manual, online video and image resources, the student clinic participation, downloadable forms, &  access to apply for Certification, and easy access to attend our FasciAshi Advanced course. (That is why Revitalize classes are so cheap, they are meant as a recap.) New copies of workbooks/manuals are not provided in Revitalize courses.  Consider these retraining options for whatever best fits your schedule, your learning style, and your budget. If you want to be a Jedi Master at Ashiatsu, training and retraining is key.
