Prerequisites:
Previously attended Intro to Kinessage® Course. The more familiar you are with the origins and insertions of
the head/eck, shoulder, arm and hand, the more you will get from this course and the more fun you'll have.
Come Equipped - Class Requirements:
1. Exercise Ball
After the Intro class this is likely to be your new best friend. Be sure to bring it to continue the learning and fun.
2. Table
You already know that Kinessage® uses movement and takes maximum advantage of your table to save your
body. If you're flying in for the course, you're still exempt from bringing one, and you get to make another new
friend with someone who drove.
3. Linens, beach-size towel and lotion
Remember your towel or extra sheet for the Kinessage® Self Care exercises. One of the best parts of learning
Kinessage® is feeling it work in your own body.
