Our Ashiatsu courses are designed as a progression learning system. With each level you will learn more advanced techniques, protocols and become more confident in your new barefoot skills. Everything starts with learning the fundamentals of Barefoot Basics first. Even though the class is entry level, we do reserve the right to maintain a weight limit/fitness level for teaching our barefoot classes due to equipment safety and liability issues. If your weight is over 180 pounds and you would like to register for Barefoot Basics, please contact one of our certified instructors prior to registration to discuss what is expected of you. We are happy to discuss through photos and verbal description of the upper arm and core strength you will need to participate & deliver a comfortable session to your receiving partner. You will need strength, balance and coordination no matter what class level you take to deliver barefoot compression with flow, rhythm and safety.

The art of learning to effleurage with the feet can be physically and mentally challenging. A successful learning environment depends on a “team-operation” style workshop.   If you have any concerns with weight, sight, hearing, recent injuries, learning disabilities, language barriers or any situation that may interfere with your fellow body worker’s learning process, please let us know in advance.  Our main focus is on a quality workshop experience for all.
