This will be the first 75-Hour Advanced Esalen Massage Training
to take place in China!

Since the first 175-Hour Certification Training in China in 2015, many students have graduated from the program which has been offered yearly.  These graduates and many others around the world are ready for the next level, of more refined in-depth study. With this in mind, Ziphu presents this intensive thematic certification training.

This advanced training enables Esalen certified students to build their credit towards the highest certification of 500-Hours.  This course may also prepare students for the Esalen Teacher Training in 2020 which will take place in Bali, Indonesia and is set to be the first Esalen Teacher Training to take place outside of the Esalen Institute!  With over a year training and mentorship the teacher training will bring a new generation of Esalen Teachers. Currently there are no more than 20 Qualified Teachers worldwide.

Upon completion of this 75-Hour advanced training, the accredited 75-Hours may be combined with the previous 175-Hour certification for a 250-Hour certification.

Who is this program for?

This program is available only to those already certified in Esalen Massage at a minimum of 100-Hours.

Course Theme & Content

This program will focus on massage and women’s health with particular care towards the lumbar muscle group, spleen and chest massage.

Learning to take care of yourself and clients wellbeing is a lifelong exploration.  Ellen and Jessice will present some effective ways to support the health of the chest and the reproductive system.

When we recognize the waist muscles, we deepen awareness of issues the upper and lower body.  The free movement of this musce group allows us to jump into the dance floor and enjoy bending, twisting, rotating our body in free flowing motion.

The psoas muscles are renowned as the area in which we hold our trauma.  Learning to work with this region allows us to effectively release post-traumatic stress holding patterns.  With changes in modern lifestyle, effects on women’s reproductive systems are becoming more significant. In combination with the spleen, treatment to this meridian may help women to reach more abundant and healthy internal reproductive environments.

The breasts and chest areas also hold emotions and effective massage in these areas may bring integration and energy expansion into women’s lives.  We will learn how to deal with this area and assist women to release, stretch and grow, bringing deeper physical and mental experience to ourselves and others.

Some key areas we will cover include

  • Essential oil massage plan for premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea and ovulation
  • Lymphatic Drainage methods and Healthy Breast Massage
  • Releasing Tension for the Psoas Muscles
  • Self-Care methods for Lumbar Muscle Fatigue
  • Passive Joint Movements that may release the Psoas Muscles during a Massage
  • Dancing with Yoga and the Psoas Muscles
