This is a 1500 year old technique that aims at releasing all physical and emotional congestion in the body, with a full body massage. It is known in Hawaii as the “Dance of Massage” because of its long flowing style and continuous rhythm and beat accompanied by selected tribal music. The therapist and client will become entranced in a spiritual state. You will learn how to transform a loving touch into techniques for healing. The basis for Lomi-Lomi is an integration of Mind-Body-Soul in a ritual of transformation and inspiration. The inspiration is from the Huna or “Pathway of Life”.

1. Some 12 strokes for a full body massage addressing long, hardened, bulky muscles and cellulite
2. Breathing techniques and meditation to conserve your energy and build stamina
3. Circular, spiraling and forearm techniques as well as kneading thumb techniques
4. How to address the diaphragm, the seat of emotions

Wolfgang asks every student to bring a hand towel, 2 Sets of Sheets, your own lubrication, suggested oils (Rosemary, Sandalwood, Lavender, Peppermint, Frankincense, Patchouli and blends you use) and an open mind. It is NOT absolutely necessary to bring the oils because the instructor will bring his.
