Here is the whole Relaxation Massage sequence- You can watch this as you do your massage on your friends to train. Put on some massage music and trust your training. There is no voice over here because you now should know what you need to do. It's time to 'groove in' your techniques. As i have said before, practice , practice and practice! The timing of the massage here is 45 minutes. All you need to do to make it one hour is repeat some more of the strokes slightly and you will be at one hour.

Many students wanted to have the sequence without music so that they can watch it and also put on their own music at the same time from the same computer/tablet/iPad so that is why I have this lecture included for you.
