Workshops & Training in Esalen® Massage

Esalen Massage trainings extend beyond the famed Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California to Tokyo, Shanghai, Bali, the Swiss Alps, Spain, and throughout the USA. This signature slow-paced, mindful massage is augmented by the sounds and spirit of each locale. Most classes are taught in English, or with translation.

The Esalen Massage and Bodywork Association oversees this vast map and ensures that all teachers and classes meet its rigorous standards of excellence and inspiration. Only those workshops and trainings, practitioners, and teachers who have completed its certifying coursework and application process are permitted to use the name. You know you are in good hands with Esalen Massage.  

An Esalen Massage practitioner may be available in your home town. If you don’t like to travel, simply reach out directly  to emba@esalen.org and inquire about sponsoring a training in your area. The name Esalen is a registered mark of the Esalen Institute.
