Heeling Sole Barefoot Massage

I am about to bring more awesome Ashiatsu to Texas - you've all been waiting for it, now it's coming! Some of you know might remember seeing this class listed as "Deep Feet 2" back in the day, some of you know it as "the doubles"... well now it's vamped up and has been combined with the Fusion class, ready to be unleashed on Texas as "ADVANCED ASHIATSU"!!

I currently have one of these amazing and awesome Advanced Ashi classes scheduled in San Antonio on February 26-28th, 2010. Ruthie's coming! She and I will teach you how to safely apply the deepest most luxurious massage, with two feet! Get double the instructor attention, feedback and demonstrations, double your fun! You've seen me do these advanced techniques, now you can too. I'm going to have an army of 20 guest clients for us to practice on over the course of those 3 days. Yes, I did say 20. Practice practice practice, and practice some more. You will be made of steel after graduating this workshop!

If you still find yourself needing to go deeper even when you are using what you've learned from Barefoot Basics, then come take this one. Register now and click here!

OK, so what's NOT to like about this class? Well, for one, you need to have the strength to safely release your body weight into the clients body and be able to pull, twist, thrust, propel and slide yourself ever-so-gracefully between strokes to create a peaceful session. Gotta make this stuff luxurious you know, it's not "NO PAIN NO GAIN" for the client. (But maybe for you!) Go get strong!

Here are some exersize ideas to slip into your New Years resolution:

1: Pull ups and push ups are your friend. Go try some!
2: Pilates must be your sidekick, not your nemesis. Get that core STRONG LIKE BULL!
3: Grip strength is important - no cheater moves here with yoga straps supporting you up, no resting your wrists on top of the bars, its all hands on deck this time. Practice squeezing stress balls, and give strong handshakes! Guitar Center has a rad grip strength doo-dad that I like.
4: Use your bars for the ultimate test: condition your body by holding onto your bars, palms facing in, Rhomboids, Traps and Lats held strong, neck long, spine straight, and raise both legs straight out at the same time to be parallel with the floor, your body is in an "L" shape: hold that for 2 minutes!
5: Confidence comes from within - train your mind that you can do this! Think positively, eat healthy, sleep well, drink more water, and practice what you preach.

Here's the bit of news you ~may~ not like: I don't think I'll teach this class outside of San Antonio for a w-h-i-l-e. Why? I've got to come up with your meat, the guest clients, to massage for 3 days straight! It's hard to coordinate 20 men with the appropriate body type and no contraindications to come receive this work at very specific times in my own town, let alone in Dallas or anywhere else I teach. Most other AOBT instructors stick to one city to teach anyways, and being that I'm a multi-city instructor, this is where it gets tough. SO, I know I said I'd try to get up there ASAP, but it honestly isn't going to happen for a long while. And by long I mean, maybe not in 2010. I'll bring Ashi-Thai, Barefoot Basics and Anterior/Sidelying whenever I teach out of San Antone, though! (Hey Pacific Northwest, I'm looking your way!)

So for my dear Dallas and Houston area AOBT therapists, your consolation prize is this: $50 off my February Advanced Ashiatsu workshop if you live closer to Dallas or Houston than you do San Antonio.

In the meantime, go get strong to prepare for Advanced Ashi! As for me, I'm taking Aerial Dance lessons to get my muscles in gear:

Read more about Advanced Ashiatsu on my site and on Ruthie's. And remember: If you don't see someone listed on deepfeet.com as one of the modalities Associate Instructors, they aren't teaching you what they claim. Study from the source, train with the original, and learn it for real.

Later!

Massage Therapists, don't forget, I've got the official Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy "Ashi-Wear", DVD's & eyebolts if you need them! Next month there is an Ashi-Thai workshop in San Antonio!

This weeked starts the Americal Massage Therapy Association's (AMTA) National Massage Therapy Awareness Week! Every year around October 25-31st its time to remind yourself to get back into the habit of taking care of your body with regularly scheduled massages.

Are you aware of what your body is telling you? Sometimes we are so busy in life that we have learned to tune out our own natural intuition, and we shut down the voices saying "Hey! I'm overworked! I need a massage!"

Not ~all~ the voices in your head are crazy, but the voices in your body are usually right! So listen to them and come in this week.

A barefoot massage will help you turn up the volume on your body's awareness channel, you'll start to see the warning signs for when that evil knot that lives in your shoulder is about to attack.

Let massage help you become more aware now, and you're body will thank you forever!

We always receive feedback from our students saying how much fun they had in our Ashiatsu workshops, and how much they loved receiving the work. Most therapists who come to our workshops are the first in their area, or the only therapist in their spa/clinic, offering Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, which has great advantages! But what about when you want to receive an Ashiatsu massage? Wouldn't it be nice to have a friend trained in this modality that you can practice with, and even better, TRADE with?! I had my Ashi-friends Dari and Julie in Seattle with me, and it was a blast - there was no competition between us, we just helped each other grow and received amazing Ashi massages in the meantime! Even if you and your friends work at different locations, you can still help each other with marketing ideas, work events together, maybe split the costs of buying or renting the Hardee-Ashiatsu Portable Bar System so that you can both set up ~together~ and show your community what Ashiatsu is!

Announcing the "Ashi-Friends" deal!

For each friend you refer who enrolls in your Barefoot Basics, Advanced Ashi, or Ashi-Thai workshop, you will all receive:

You plus 1 friend enrolls: Free Promo DVD (Save $15 each)
You plus 2 friends enroll: Free Ashi body Butters (Save $17 each)
You plus 3+ friends enroll: Free Barefoot Basics DVD* each (Save $25 each) (*If registered for Advanced Ashi or Ashi-Thai, then you'll receive $25 off the DVD set instead)
PLUS: You and your friend(s) enroll in Anterior/Sidelying = Free Anterior/Sidelying DVD! (Save $20 each)

So round up your friends and get your dvd's for free! You'll be a step ahead, able to continue developing the quality of your Ashiatsu strokes at a faster rate since you will be able to massage your Ashi-trained friend, receiving feedback consistent with the information and experience gained in your Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy workshop! Receiving the work helps you remember how it "should feel" or how the experience could be improved. Supported by your official Ashiatsu DVD library and friends, you can put your best feet (not just foot) forward!

New update to this deal! Would you rather take the dollar amount of each DVD off the price of your workshop tuition? Times are tough and I can understand. If you refer a friend(s) you'll have the option of either accepting the DVD/Ashi Butter offer as outlined above, or I can subtract the same dollar amount from your tuition. That means you have the potential of taking $15-$45 off your tuition costs depending on how many referrals you send in, and then you can just save buying the DVD's for later.

Check out HeelingSole.com for the workshop schedule! Remember only 8 to a class, so spots are limited.

(Offer only valid on workshops taught by Jeni Spring in either San Antonio or Dallas now through May 2010. Workshops are for Licensed Massage Therapists only)
