Intensive Residential Trainings

Intensive trainings allow you to experience and incorporate the technique without distractions and in a reduced time. We recommend that you take one of the levels in this format. The experience is unforgettable, we work hard to make it so!

Training details

Xavi and Linda offer to guide you on an exciting journey through the senses, enjoy the present moment, breathe it, free yourself and give good energy.

We will take you to a really fascinating natural environment, with a lot of peace, located in the Calderona mountain range, relatively close to the sea. We will enjoy a few days of tranquility, peace and a lot of learning.

Step by step, you will learn to reconnect and be aware of your own body to carry out your own transformation and healing. You will learn to touch, feel and travel the body through long movements, stretching and twisting creating fluidity to relax the nervous system. You will understand the body’s mechanisms and muscular actions to release blockages, both physical and emotional.

We offer you the complete training in Californian massage.

  • The basic course focuses on making you aware of your body, harmonizing your breath and energy to connect with your center (hara).  You will learn to connect with this space within you. From relaxation, you will enter a meditative state that will connect you intuitively with your heart. Through this state you will be able to enter into fusion with the other person. You will learn to work with your body weight so as not to injure yourself, and to touch each part of the body with fluidity, to release emotions and tensions, thus freeing the nervous system.
  • The intermediate course focuses on complementing and expanding the training received in the basic course. You will learn to understand and work deeper layers of the body, its structure, its mechanics, muscular actions, the insertion and origin of the muscles, etc. The objective of the intermediate course is to release deep rooted tensions in the body, using new techniques and sequences, such as: mobilizations, tractions, stretching, hammocks, torsions, etc. …..
  • The advanced course is the culmination of the whole learning process, it is a course that will take you to a new dimension in your work, you will achieve a complete understanding of this type of massage. We will experience sequences that come from Thai, Deep Tissue and Lomi Lomi, which will bring us a wealth of resources, and a new way of understanding the body as a whole.

Intensive Format

The main advantages that this format offers in relation to the periodic trainings that we do at the school are the following:

  • Intensive morning and afternoon classes: over seven days we will do a very deep and intense work, for this we will spend about eight hours a day in the study and practice of Californian massage.
  • The training program is very extensive, but the method we use is the repetition of the massage sequences, and in this case very close repetitions in time, so that the practice is well fixed in the memory of the student.
  • We will begin each day with a specific work of body awareness. They will be delicious blends prepared by Linda, directly for you, and that will help us to harmonize the training.
