SACRED BODYWORK HEALING ARTS CENTER

 

Sacred Bodywork offers massage continuing education seminars, residential and non-residential retreats and workshops for spas, healing arts centers, massage therapists, personal trainers and bodyworkers who wish to add a new dimension to their work. Our approach follows the Eastern belief that we are all beings of energy with physical form. Purely mechanical work only treats one aspect of the whole; therefore, truly transformational work must address the energetic being, as well. In all of our workshops, regardless of technique, we teach students to work with energy to make their work even more effective. If you are looking for a certification and NCBTMB, Florida or Louisiana State massage continuing education hours for re-licensing, we will provide you the opportunity to learn and practice in one of our massage and bodywork intensive programs.

 

Sacred Bodywork, is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a continuing education Approved Provider. NCBTMB provider # 450670-08, and by the States of Florida Board of Massage Therapy- Florida Continuing Education Provider # 50-9043 and Louisiana Continuing Education Provider # LAP0155

Over its 2500 year history, Thai Yoga Massage has evolved into a unique blend of pranayama breathing, meditation, hatha yoga, compassionate touch, energetic medicine and heart-based healing.

You will learn to perform a Traditional Thai Yoga Massage in the Front and Back Positions. By the end of the course, you will be able to give a delightful 90-minute to 2-hour massage the Thai way. Thai massage can be described as having yoga done to you, so it’s an amazing experience for both the giver and the receiver.
Wear loose comfortable clothing for easy movement and stretching and bring your swimsuit for the Spa.

There aren’t adequate words to describe all the emotions and feelings felt during our time on Kauai and as an Ohana, family, together. From the serene beauty of a monk seal resting on the beach to the mountains and the ocean, the power, or mana, of nature is all around. After kayaking on the Wailua River, we hiked for what seemed like at least 2 miles to get to the cool, refreshing pool and hidden waterfall.  Standing under the pounding water was absolutely breathtaking, and the hike was beautiful and exhilarating.  Sunrise walks along the ocean started the day with peace and joy.   A visit to the Kauai Hindu Monastery (www.himalayanacademy.org), 376 acres of sacred beauty made my island visit even more special. What an incredibly peaceful, beautiful and moving part of Kauai. Although, this trip was centered around a massage class, it was so much more, and for that I am eternally grateful to Kumu Jairo Kealoha Cardona and Dennis Stovall of Sacred Bodywork. They hold retreats on not only Kauai, but Vail, CO, Chiang Mai, Thailand, Paris, France and in their home base of Miami, FL. I will be with them again as soon as possible. Aloha and Mahalo nui loa...
