Couples massage class offered
By Massage Massage of Massage
Laura Dyer will teach couples how to recharge in class at DSC Just say “ahhhh.” Dalton State College invites you to relax, recharge and reconnect in Massage for Couples, a new class instructed by Laura Dyer, licensed massage therapist and owner of Professional Wellness Therapy of Dalton Inc. Kelly Snyder, program coordinator for personal enrichment, said the class couldn’t be offered at a better time. “Many couples are living excessively stressful lives,” Snyder said. “They’re stressed about their families, their jobs, their money and their community commitments. It’s difficult to find meaningful time to spend together, but Massage for Couples is a treat for couples to experience. And the skills learned in the class can continue to be enjoyed in the intimacy of your home long after the class has ended.” “The physical benefits of massage are numerous and include area-specific pain relief, increased circulation, lowered blood pressure and strengthened immune system,” Dyer said. “People also see mental and emotional advantages to massage. Often times, even after their first massage, people will report having enjoyed a restful night’s sleep, along with feeling more calm and thinking more clearly.” Massage for Couples will be presented in four sessions, with a different area of focus presented during each class. According to Dyer, each session will include a brief description of the muscles involved in the massage and any applicable precautions. The majority of the class will be a hands-on demonstration of simple, yet very effective, massage techniques for pain relief and relaxation. “Couples will learn and practice the massage techniques on each other during the class with continued individual instruction as needed,” Dyer said. “We will also learn some useful, but perhaps unexpected applications for massage at home such as how to stop a leg or foot cramp and how to relieve congested sinuses. Upon completion of all four sessions, couples will be able to combine what they’ve learned into a soothing massage routine they can perform at home.” Snyder said the format of Massage for Couples will be relaxed. “Laura is completely professional and extremely knowledgeable,” Snyder said. “She is patient and thorough and her demeanor is kind and calming. She will be an exceptional instructor. The ambiance of the class will be laid back. Laura will present in a conversational, easy-to-understand format. Couples won’t be split up and asked to massage strangers, wear name tags or play awkward ice-breaker games. This class is all about what’s good for you and your relationship. It has been proven at the Touch Research Institute that massage strengthens and nurtures relationships, not to mention being a pleasurable way to soothe away stress and re-establish rapport as a couple.” Dyer’s instruction will focus on the back and shoulders, legs and feet, hands and arms, and neck, face and scalp. “We can’t all have a professional massage therapy session every day,” Dyer said. “But upon completion of this class, couples will be able to enjoy, and provide each other with, some of the calming benefits of massage as often as desired. Couples don’t need any prior knowledge of massage therapy to participate. This class is a great gift to give yourselves.” Massage for Couples will meet Jan. 22-Feb. 12 on Thursdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the James E. Brown Center on the Dalton State Campus. Class size is very limited. Call (706) 272-4454 or log on to www.daltonstate.edu/cce for more information or to register. |
