Barefoot Yomassage® is a transformative experience using medium, broad, consistent pressure with feet and body weight to nourish the mind, body, and soul. Each session begins with a five-minute deep breathing ritual or a unique themed meditation that helps ground you in the present moment. You’ll enter a deep state of relaxation as you’re guided through a series of six restorative stretches while a Yomassage therapist provides therapeutic and guided meditation.
When practiced regularly Yomassage can help with stress, sleep, anxiety, depression, loneliness, feelings of connectedness, digestion, pain, and more. Compared to a normal swedish massage, Yomassage releases more muscle tension, gets deeper into the connective tissues without accessing pain receptors, helps maintain a deeper state of relaxation, helps the client to relax and release earlier in the session, and activates more sensory receptors.
Barefoot Yomassage® sessions are led by massage therapists certified in Barefoot Yomassage® and can be 1-1, or the therapist can serve clients in a small group of 4 or less.
Barefoot Yomassage is best for clients who are free of contraindications for deeper work and enjoy medium to deep pressure.
