The Massage LAB
Private or group Class
A Couples Massage Workshop is a private two-hour class for you and one other person. You’ll learn a little bit about massage, and then you’ll learn how to stand, move, hold your hands, and learn a couple of massage strokes up the back of the body: legs, hips, back and shoulder.
Each participant receives about 45 minutes of individual instruction, and will learn Swedish Massage techniques that can be applied up the back of the body, but adapted to the front of the body as well.
It’s a great way to bond with your special someone!
Intimacy and Touch
Touch, especially focused and caring touch, is intimate by its nature. However,
intimate touch is not, and does not have to be, sexual. For this class, we are
focusing completely on relaxing and caring touch that is free from any
expectations that sexual touch elicits, as natural as they might be.
