Wellness Wednesdays: Massage

Join experienced massage practitioner Nasrene Kordani for a Self and Partner Massage for Every Body Exercise. 

Self massage can be an excellent way to connect with your body and manage chronic or acute pain. Tending to your loved ones through soft tissue manipulation can bring joy and closeness to the relationship you have with your family and community. This one hour event will equip you with a few skills to ease your own trouble spots as well as work on others, and to incorporate massage into your health routines. Bring a pal or family member to trade with, or be bold and come ready to pair with another attendee! Or just come to learn how to massage yourself. Either way, you will float away in bliss.
