NOTE TO TRAVELERS. For those traveling from out of town, I would not recommend camping, tenting or rugged accommodations for the duration of this course due to the physical component and energy you will need for class, especially if you are not accustomed to the area and it's climate/conditions. I speak from experience with students in the past attempting to tent or van camp during class. Hygiene and hydration were at times the issue; so as long as you can come to class prepared and ready to give and receive deep work all should work out. Having access to a shower is pertinent for hygienic reasons as a massage therapists to arrive ready and able. 

Please review the course requirements & prerequisites below for all courses:

• Must have at least 1 year of manual therapy experience. (May include clinic hours from massage school).
  
• Must meet your state/country's massage licensure requirements.
  
• Must have current liability/malpractice insurance in the state/country where you practice (no exceptions).
  
• Fitness level is especially important for Sarga Bodywork practices on raised massage tables.

Here are 4 fitness measurements that can help to gauge your ability to learn and perform Sarga Bodywork with success:

1. The ability to balance on one foot for at least 1 minute without holding onto anything for support. Please note: excessive ankle inversion or supination can limit your ability in class as well as ankle injuries with limited dorsiflexion. We highly recommend ankle and knee stabilizing exercises to be prepared for this course.

2. Excellent cardiovascular conditioning and the ability to perform cardiovascular exercise (jogging, swimming, etc.) for 10-15 minutes without stopping.

3. The ability to perform at least 3 sets of 20 squats.

4. The ability to isometrically hold a plank for at least 1 minute.

BOTH FLOOR & RAISED TABLE will be taught simultaneousl. While basic strength and conditioning is still important here, a floor-based practice provides practitioners a much wider and more stable working area, and fitness level is less of a consideration.

ARRIVAL + DEPARTURE 

• Please notice the course dates and time. If you are arriving from out of town, please book your flights so that you arrive (at least) the day before the first day of class and leave (at least) the day after the last day of class. Since we are an NCBTMB approved CE course in which you receive 24 CE credit hours for 101 and 12 Ce credits for 102, all class time must be allotted for to receive your Certificate of Completion.

• We highly suggest that you book refundable travel arrangements until your course is confirmed (meets minimum enrollment), and that you purchase flexible airline tickets/travel insurance if you are arriving from out-of-town.  • If we have not reached the required minimum student enrollment up to 30 days prior to the class start time, Sarga Bodywork reserves the right to postpone a course to a later time or to cancel it altogether. In such an event, registrants have the choice to either transfer to another course without paying the transfer fee, or to be refunded their full payment.

• Class times are always 10:00am - 5:00pm (with a one-hour lunch break between noon and 2pm each day). Please arrive a few minutes early, or with enough time to get settled before class begins and allow up to 30 minutes "flex time" after 5pm each class day.

• Since we are a certified NCBTMB CEU provider, any missed class time has to be made up, case by case; which could require a retake if any portion of class is missed.
