What is Ashiatsu 1 to 1 Training?
Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage is a deep-tissue bodywork technique that uses the therapist’s feet, body weight, and gravity to deliver broad, flowing pressure. It’s known for offering clients unparalleled relief while helping therapists preserve their own bodies by reducing repetitive strain on the hands and arms.
SAMBA’s ashiatsu 1 to 1 training format brings this dynamic method into a highly focused setting. You'll work privately with one of our expert instructors, receiving 100% of their attention in a customized environment that suits your needs and learning style.
Unlike group classes, ashiatsu massage 1 to 1 classes allow for real-time adjustments, more in-depth practice, and personalized feedback. Whether you're looking to address specific technique concerns, master equipment setup, or focus on improving your flow and mechanics, we’ll tailor the experience around your goals.
How It Works: Choose Your Dates, Set Your Goals
Our private ashiatsu massage 1 to 1 training is designed for ultimate flexibility. You’ll work directly with a SAMBA instructor to:
Set your learning objectives – Are you looking to learn a new sequence? Improve your body mechanics? Refresh skills from a previous course?
Choose your location – Train at our flagship studio in Tucson, Arizona, or request 1 to 1 training at your own location nationwide. For on-site trainings outside Tucson, clients provide the equipment and setup.
Pick your dates – We work with your availability to create a custom training schedule that suits your lifestyle and commitments.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all course. It’s your course—and we make sure every minute of instruction is centered on your development as a barefoot massage therapist.
