Hawaiian Temple Style Lomi Lomi Massage
Brief class summary
Hawaiian Temple
Style Lomi Lomi also known as Kahuna Massage was traditionally reserved for
royalty and huna or spiritual leaders.
This style of
massage provides flowing continuous touch over the body using hands and
forearms, which covers a greater surface area, therefore enhanced relaxation
for the client.
Many strokes
are long and fluid, encompassing the body from head to toe and vary in depth
and pace. You will also learn how to massage a client on an oiled table top
(with a top drape) so strokes can be done under and over the body
simultaneously. In addition the body is gently stretched and joints are moved
through their full range of motion.
Hot Stone Massage is incorporated in the Lomi Lomi
massage and it will melt away tension, leaving your client’s
muscles feeling pliable and free of pain. Muscles can’t resist the
powerful combination of firm massage and penetrating deep heat.
Strokes alternate with the smooth
river stones and hands. They are also placed on tight muscles where their
heat energy is transferred.
It’s like ironing the
kinks out of your client’s birthday suit!
You will
learn the massage techniques and how to perform the accompanying traditional
hula and chants.
This style of
massage takes one to a place of ultimate relaxation, nurturance and bliss by
coaxing the muscles into surrendering to the fluid, full length strokes.
Because the
work is so unpredictable one surrenders to the ebb and flow of the therapist’s
hands.
The added benefit is that
the heat from the stones contributes to the health of the therapist's
hands keeping them supple and relaxed and much of the work is done with
forearms so the hands are not overused.
The intention
in Lomi Lomi is to guide the client or patient to align their mind, body and
spirit and empower them to harmonize relationships with others.
