Grab a partner and show your bodies some love in this Reciprocal Massage workshop! What is Reciprocal Massage? Think: contact improv meets massage technique. In most massages, the roles are set and care flows only one way, from the "giver" to the "receiver." But what if massage could be mutual, where the roles of giving and receiving were shared, and both people left feeling restored? Enter Reciprocal Massage! A hybrid of massage, partner stretching, and contact improv that creates a "flow" - allowing both you and your partner to be stretched and massaged together. Whether you want to level up your massage skills, have an achy body that needs some TLC, or are simply curious to explore partnered movement- this workshop is for you! What to Expect 1. A warmup exploring "elements of flow" borrowed from contemporary dance (expect to move and sweat a little!) 2. Introduction to various massage techniques, giving you the tools to both give and receive care 3. Weight sharing exercises, where you'll learn how to communicate and play through the body These elements will then culminate in a "flow"- where partners will be given the space to discover new possibilities of how to stretch, massage, and move with one another organically
