Highlights of this 50-Hour Course:
-
Balinese
Massage
Learn Balinese Massage, the traditional healing and relaxing massage
that has been handed down through generations. Balinese massage
borrows from a variety of healing traditions and includes
stretching, long strokes, and skin rolling, compressions, palm and
thumb pressure on energy lines and feet acupressure all with your
choice of fragrant oils such as frangipani, jasmine or sandalwood.
-
Royal
Javanese Treatment
The Javanese Lulur is an
ancient beauty treatment that was practiced in the palaces of Java
as a “purifying” ritual for Javanese brides for 40 days prior to
marriage. Today this same treatment is enjoyed by both women
and men for its ability to freshen and rid the skin of impurities
leaving the client with a soft golden glow (a product of the golden
color of the turmeric). The treatment usually begins with a
Javanese massage with aromatic oils and then flows into an
exfoliation scrub using the lulur recipe of turmeric, sandalwood,
rice power, cinnamon and other herbs and spices. A yogurt rub to
nourish the skin and a drink of Jamu herbal tonic while you are
relaxing completes the treatment.
-
Other
treatments including the Balinese Boreh, Spice Island scrub and
Bali Kopi scrub, and others will be prepared, applied and experienced by all
