Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.
— Margaret Atwood
communication
Deepen your understanding of non verbal communication with partner exercises and movement work.
Touch is not optional for human development… From consumer choice to sexual intercourse, from tool use to chronic pain to the process of healing, the genes, cells, and neural circuits involved in the sense of touch have been crucial to creating our unique human experience.
— David J. Linden in Touch
anatomy
You will learn to see the body anatomically with in depth exploration on the areas we are applying massage.
When you touch a body, you touch the whole person, the intellect, the spirit, and the emotions.
— Jane Harrington.
intuitive sense
Enhance your skills of intuitive touch and deep listening.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around...

WHY MASSOGA®
This is a special practice. It is safe and nurturing. It helps people to appreciate the importance of self care and reflection time. Our culture demands productivity and therefore steals our most precious nonrenewable resource - time. Yet when we give ourselves some valuable time to rest & rejuvenate we are more efficient, and all round better humans. A practice like Massoga® provides a space for this - and who doesn't love yoga and massage together!
There is less kind and caring physical interaction between people now than ever before. Massoga® Method is layered, and fully immersive. It helps us to reconnect in modern times where touch is taboo.
The techniques we have developed for the Introductory training are deeply relaxing and nourishing, and could be applied to loved ones at home, or if you are a teacher or facilitator, in your massage treatments or in your yoga classes.
The more we learn about touch, the more we realize just how central it is in all aspects of our lives — cognitive, emotional, developmental, behavioral — from womb into old age. It's no surprise that a single touch can affect us in multiple, powerful ways.
— Maria Konnikova in The Power of Touch
