Workshops
Asian Fire Cupping: One of Mueller’s best workshops!
In one day learn how to integrate fire cupping techniques into your practice. Especially useful for those who offer deep tissue therapy techniques when knuckles, thumbs and elbows are not enough to get through knotted or spasmed muscle class. Students are asked to bring their own oil, linens and at least one hand towel.
The ancient technique of fire cupping can be easily integrated with any massage. While deep tissue works by pushing into the muscle, fire cupping works by creating suction away from the muscle. Non-invasive and painless, this simple technique helps to soften ropey, knotted muscles, increase circulation and promote the free flow of chi throughout the body. (7.5 CEU’S)
Tuition: $200
