Esalen® Massage 100 Hour Certification Program 
Prama Institute, Marshall NC (just outside of Asheville)

March 9 - 13, 2011 
April 6 - 10, 2011
May 4 - 8, 2011

About the program:
In this professional course we will provide a minimum of 100 hours of comprehensive instruction in Esalen® Massage and Bodywork.  Esalen Massage began at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA in the 1960's, and grew out of the human potential movement, sensory awareness, and gestalt therapy.  It is comprised of techniques which draw from many of the great pioneers of bodywork who taught at the Esalen Institute, and will be presented as a form of somatic learning and a meditation for both giver and receiver. Through touch, movement, and meditation we will explore the integration of body, mind, and spirit.  Experiential learning classes will focus on supporting students to develop a balance between technique, intuition, and creativity.  Our study of massage technique is augmented through applied anatomy, awareness practices, methods of self-care, and communication skills.
This training is for certified massage & bodywork practitioners wanting to deepen their bodywork practice and add the Esalen approach to their work.  To apply for this training, please submit an application, $500 deposit and copy of your massage certification.  
 Following the satisfactory completion of this program, students wishing to complete the certification process will have 6 months to document massage sessions.  Upon payment of a $150 processing fee, an Esalen Massage & Bodywork Certificate will be issued.
