This playful and practical three-hour workshop introduces yoga teachers, massage therapists, and AcroYoga practitioners to the art of fusion therapeutics—a dynamic approach to using both hands and feet in healing touch.
Blending techniques from Ashiatsu, Thai massage, myofascial release, active and passive range of motion (ROM) and trigger point therapy, you’ll learn to apply deep, intuitive pressure with your feet, enhance body awareness, and expand your therapeutic toolkit. We’ll explore supported stretches, rhythmic compression, fluid transitions, and grounded touch—offering a more sustainable and embodied way to give.
The class begins with a yoga flow to warm and center the body, followed by partner yoga to cultivate connection and trust. From there, we move into hands-on fusion therapeutics, where you’ll learn and practice a range of techniques using both hands and feet to offer deep, effective, and intuitive bodywork….and a whole lot more.
Come ready to move, touch, receive, and playfully explore how your whole body—especially your feet—can become a powerful instrument of healing.
Perfect for anyone who works with the body—whether through movement, massage, or partner practices—this course helps you deepen your connection to gravity, balance, and presence. Massage therapists will also receive 3 hours of NCBTMB-approved continuing education.
