The Esalen® Massage 100-hour Course offers a comprehensive training for certified bodyworkers who wish to add the Esalen® philosophy and signature approach to their professional repertoire. Renowned for its innovative and fluid style, Esalen® Massage was developed in concert with pioneers of the “human potential movement” as a language of touch that responded to the needs of the individual rather than a set sequence. Often referred to as the Tai Chi of massage, this experiential approach to bodywork utilizes the principles of structure, balance, movement, and grounding to create a therapeutic “dance” between practitioner and client. With the use of oil students will learn the trademark Esalen® “long stroke” as a foundation to integrate a wide range of techniques. Esalen® Massage is an approach of listening, responding, flowing, and pausing that acknowledges the intimate relationship between the physical, emotional, and spiritual body as a whole. Our hope is to provide a classroom that fosters creativity and an approach that will not only enhance but inspire the current bodywork practice.

A certificate awarding the title “Esalen® Massage Practitioner” will be granted by the Esalen Massage and Bodywork Association to students who successfully complete all of the course requirements and have completed their 500- or 658-hour certificate program at McKinnon or another approved school.
