SARGA BODYWORK® is a barefoot massage method that employs the use of a fabric strap fastened to a massage table to deliver therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue techniques. This length of fabric is used by practitioners for stability and to add tensional and gravitational force to specific manual therapy methods. These methods, applied with the broad contact surfaces of the feet facilitate less restriction and more ease and relaxation in recipients’ bodies.

Student weight and fitness as it relates to classroom safety and the capacities treatment equipment used in the classroom:

Sarga Bodywork understands that weight alone does not determine fitness, balance, or capability. However, for safety reasons, we ask that you inform us if you are outside of the biometrics listed below. We will inquire further to ensure that the techniques taught in our courses can be performed safely and within the working limits of our equipment. This is highly important since the Sarga Silk allows practitioners to generate additional force beyond bodyweight. Please note that being outside of these biometrics does not necessarily exclude you from our course offerings! If you would like to discuss these options, please contact me at 860-961-4668.

• Registering for a course on raised massage tables: Students verify they are not less than 100lbs in weight, not more than 175lbs in weight, and not more than 6' in height. Students must understand the importance of their honesty as it relates to safety and liability in this regard. Failure to disclose this information may result in needing to make equipment and/ or technique modifications during class, and may even result in dismissal without a refund if classroom safety is compromised.

• Students outside the biometrics listed above: Please contact us to discuss other options for learning Sarga Bodywork.

Fitness requirements to successfully learn & perform Sarga Bodywork:

- The ability to balance on one foot for at least 1 minute without holding onto anything for support. Ankle and knee stabilizing exercises are highly recommended in preparation for this course, especially if you've had previous injuries and/or surgeries to these joints.

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

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

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

Sarga Bodywork will absolutely get easier with practice. However, learning this modality can be  rigorous and challenging at first. Excellent physical conditioning (particularly isometric strength) is a MUST in order to gain the most from a Sarga Bodywork course.

Continuing education acceptance, professional licensing requirements, and scope-of-practice regulations may vary by state, country, licensing board, and professional organization.

Students attending the Morocco Sarga training are encouraged to fly into Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK).

Suggested arrival is Saturday, June 12th to allow time to settle in, recover from travel, acclimate to the time difference, and enjoy Marrakech prior to the start of training.

Shared lodging accommodations are included with tuition within a private condo located in Marrakech’s Gueliz district, one of the city’s most modern, walkable, and centrally located neighborhoods.

Training Schedule:

• June 14–15 — Sarga Training
• June 16 — Integration / Exploration Day
• June 17–18 — Continued Sarga Training

Suggested departure is June 19th.

This schedule is intentionally designed to support an immersive educational experience while also allowing time to connect, explore, and experience the culture and rhythm of Marrakech throughout the week.

While visiting Morocco, students will find that Arabic, French and Spanish are the primary languages spoken throughout Marrakech. English is spoken in many tourist areas, restaurants, and shops, but is not universally guaranteed. Participants are encouraged to travel with flexibility, patience, and an open mind as part of the cultural experience.

Students are strongly encouraged to download translation apps prior to travel. Helpful recommended apps include:

• Google Translate — Highly recommended for restaurant menus, transportation, signage, and camera translation features. Students should download French and Arabic offline language packs before departure.

• GoDarija Translator — Particularly helpful for understanding conversational Moroccan Darija and local slang commonly spoken throughout Marrakech.

• Apple Translate — A great option for iPhone users, especially for offline communication and quick voice translations.

Students are also encouraged to download WhatsApp prior to travel, as it is widely used throughout Morocco for communication, messaging, and calls.

The condo includes WiFi access. For students interested in obtaining a local SIM card for additional cellular service during the trip, assistance can be provided closer to travel dates. Please note that phones must be unlocked through your carrier in order to use an international SIM card.

Students traveling to Morocco should ensure their passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond their travel dates. U.S. travelers do not currently require a visa for short tourist stays in Morocco; however, all travelers are responsible for verifying entry requirements based on their individual country of citizenship prior to departure.

Upon arrival at Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK), travelers should be prepared to complete immigration and customs screening procedures.

Arrival processes may include:

• Passport inspection
• Questions regarding lodging accommodations and length of stay
• Customs declaration screening
• Baggage scanning upon exit

Students should keep the following items easily accessible during travel:

• Passport
• Flight itinerary
• Return flight confirmation
• Emergency contact information

Important travel details including lodging address, local contact information, transportation guidance, and arrival instructions will be provided directly to registered participants closer to travel dates.

Travelers are encouraged to remain patient and flexible during airport arrival procedures, as wait times and processing experiences may vary depending on season, flight volume, and international travel conditions.

Tuition includes shared lodging accommodations within a private condo located in Marrakech’s Gueliz district.

The condo comfortably accommodates up to 6 students and is intended to remain a student-focused shared learning environment throughout the training experience.

Standard tuition pricing includes shared room accommodations with 2 students per room. Included lodging accommodations cover the group experience dates of June 12th–20th regardless of individual arrival or departure adjustments made by the participant.

Due to space limitations, the onsite condo is reserved for registered students only. Students wishing to travel with a spouse, partner, or guest are welcome to coordinate independent nearby accommodations.

Recommendations for additional units within the same complex or surrounding area may be available upon request.

Students choosing independent off-site accommodations may request alternate pricing that excludes shared onsite lodging and select included meals.

Breakfast will be available each day.

Lunch will be served during class days.

The condo is located in the Gueliz district of Marrakech, a vibrant and modern neighborhood known for its cafés, restaurants, shopping, and walkable atmosphere.

Students will have convenient access to a wide range of dining options, from traditional Moroccan cuisine to modern cafés, rooftop lounges, juice bars, and international restaurants.

Gueliz offers a more relaxed and contemporary feel while still being within easy reach of the historic Medina, souks, and Jemaa el-Fna area for students wanting to explore the cultural heart of Marrakech during downtime. Depending on traffic and transportation method, the Medina is typically a short taxi ride away and accessible for evening outings, shopping, sightseeing, and dining experiences.

This location was intentionally selected to provide a balance between comfort, convenience, local culture, and accessibility throughout the training experience.

The local currency in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD).

While some restaurants, hotels, and larger businesses may accept credit cards, cash is still widely used throughout Marrakech, especially in markets, taxis, smaller shops, and local cafés.

Students are encouraged to notify their bank and credit card companies of international travel prior to departure and to plan for a combination of card and cash use during the trip.

Helpful recommendations:

• Students may find it helpful to convert approximately $200–300 USD into Moroccan Dirham for general spending throughout the trip. This is typically more than enough for taxis, meals, coffee, shopping, tips, and incidental expenses during the training week.

• Exchange a small amount of currency before arrival or withdraw Dirham from a reputable ATM after landing.

• Carry small denominations whenever possible, as many vendors, taxi drivers, and smaller businesses may not have change for large bills.

• Keep cash separated into multiple locations while traveling for convenience and safety.

• Avoid carrying excessive amounts of cash during Medina and market visits.

Morocco is generally very affordable for food, taxis, coffee, and shopping compared to many U.S. cities, but students should still budget for personal spending, excursions, tips, and meals outside of training activities.

Students are encouraged to book flights into Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK).

The condo is located approximately 30 minutes from the airport depending on traffic and arrival time.

Shared airport transportation coordination will be arranged for students arriving within the primary group arrival window. Recommended arrival times and transportation coordination details will be provided closer to travel dates once participant flight schedules are confirmed.

Students arriving significantly outside the primary group arrival window may need to arrange independent transportation at their own expense. Transportation recommendations and assistance can still be provided when possible.

After arrival and settling into the condo, students are encouraged to relax, acclimate to the time difference, explore the neighborhood, exchange currency if needed, and enjoy a low-key evening prior to the start of the training experience.

Students are encouraged to bring approximately $200–300 USD to convert into Moroccan Dirham (MAD) for personal spending during the trip.

Morocco remains largely cash-friendly for taxis, cafés, markets, tipping, and smaller local purchases.

Currency exchange and ATM access are available at or near the airport; however, exchange rates, ATM fees, banking availability, and airport procedures may change at any time.

Students are encouraged to use this information as a general guide while remaining flexible and asking questions as needed during travel.

Additional transportation recommendations, airport coordination details, and currency guidance will be provided directly to registered participants closer to departure.

Today is yours to settle in, explore, recharge, and acclimate to the rhythm and energy of Marrakech before training begins.

Options for the day may include:

• Exploring the Medina — Wander the historic souks, practice your bargaining skills, sip mint tea, get beautifully lost for a few hours, and fully absorb the sensory overload that is Marrakech.

• Gueliz Café & Shopping Day — Stay local and relaxed while exploring modern cafés, boutiques, juice bars, restaurants, and the walkable Gueliz neighborhood surrounding the condo.

• Hammam or Spa Experience — Schedule a traditional Moroccan hammam or spa service and let your nervous system fully recalibrate before class begins.

• Rest & Relaxation — Sleep in, hydrate, unpack, journal, people-watch from a rooftop café, or simply recover from travel and time-zone adjustments.

This day is intentionally left open to allow students flexibility, rest, exploration, and integration prior to the start of Sarga training.

Evening is encouraged to remain low-key so everyone is rested, grounded, hydrated, and ready to begin class the following morning.

Class starts tomorrow. Today is about arriving in Morocco, arriving in your body, and letting the pace shift a little before training begins.

9:00am–4:00pm

These two days are focused on building the foundations of Sarga Bodywork through hands-on practice, body mechanics, silk setup, and introductory treatment applications.

Day 1 — Foundations & Posterior Leg

Morning Session
• Welcome & Introductions
• Lomi Ball Foot Rolls
• Table Setup & Classroom Orientation
• Silk Fittings & Adjustments

Students should expect a physically active, hands-on learning environment with significant partner exchange, body mechanics practice, and instructor feedback throughout both training days.

Today we step away from the classroom and into the rhythm, color, texture, and energy of Marrakech itself.

A hosted cultural activity is included as part of the Morocco experience, with final plans to be coordinated closer to travel dates based on group interests, weather, timing, and local recommendations. Expect a day designed around exploration, connection, movement, food, culture, and experiencing Morocco beyond the treatment room.

Options throughout the day may include wandering the Medina and souks, rooftop cafés, traditional Moroccan dining, gardens, artisan shopping, hammam experiences, photography walks, museums, or simply slowing down and absorbing the atmosphere of the city.

Students are welcome to participate in the hosted group plans or spend portions of the day exploring independently at their own pace.

Bring comfortable walking shoes, layers for changing temperatures, water, spending cash, and a sense of curiosity. Marrakech is sensory-rich in every possible way—spices, music, textures, colors, architecture, movement, and moments that somehow feel both overstimulating and grounding at the same time.

This day is intentionally designed to allow space for integration, adventure, rest, inspiration, and experiencing Morocco in a way that feels authentic to you.

9:00am–4:00pm

These final training days focus on integration, flow, confidence, transitions, and refining full-body applications through guided practice and complete treatment sequencing.

Day 3 — Integration & Full Body Flow

Students continue developing full-body rhythm while refining balance, body mechanics, communication, transitions, and treatment flow.

Hair optional. Confidence mandatory.

Training will continue with a focus on refining seated anterior and posterior techniques, transitions, and treatment pacing.

Lunch Break
• One Hour

Afternoon Session
• Complete 90-Minute Full Body Run Through

Feedback forms should be submitted prior to departure. CE certificates will be distributed upon successful completion of course requirements.

Students departing on Saturday are encouraged to book flights from Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK) during daytime to early evening hours when possible.

The condo is located approximately 30 minutes from the airport depending on traffic, time of day, and airport conditions.

Shared airport transportation coordination will be arranged for students departing within the primary group departure window. Final transportation timing and coordination details will be organized closer to travel dates once flight itineraries are confirmed.

Students departing significantly outside the primary group departure window may need to arrange independent transportation at their own expense. Transportation recommendations and assistance can still be provided when possible.

Students choosing to extend their stay through Sunday, June 20th are welcome to enjoy an additional evening in Marrakech before departing the following day. Please note that transportation coordination and group travel assistance may no longer be available after the primary scheduled departure window, and extended-stay participants should be prepared to arrange independent transportation to the airport for their return travel.

Please allow additional time for international airport procedures, baggage screening, customs processing, and airline check-in requirements when planning return flights from Morocco.

After a week of training, exploration, mint tea, sensory overload, and barefoot bodywork in Marrakech, safe travels home — and may your carry-on somehow still close after the Medina shopping.
