Reflexology and Foot Massage

Pierre Montpetit

This 90-minute workshop provides theory and hands-on-experience.

You will learn the basic principles of reflexology and foot massage. Plus, you’ll discover the differences between these two techniques and how combining reflexology and foot massage, known as Reflexo-Nidra, can help you experience the deep state of Yoga-Nidra (yogic sleep). You’ll explore how these ancient practices, like Padabhyanga (foot massage in Ayurveda), offer remarkable health benefits. Additionally, you’ll learn why foot massage is the most effective at releasing endorphins, thanks to the 200,000 nerve endings in the feet.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurveda, just 10 minutes of foot massage every evening strengthens your immune system, prevents illness, and prepares your body for deep restorative sleep.

You will learn and practice a routine combining reflexology and foot massage techniques. You’ll be able to bring this 10-minute practice home and share it with your loved ones. Join us and bring the art of relaxation into your life!

Simple, Easy and… Fun!

Offered as 1 afternoon workshop (subject to change).

Pierre Montpetit has been dedicated to Eastern wisdom since the age of 19 when he was initiated into meditation and yoga. He started studying Ayurveda in 1984 and was trained in Pulse diagnosis, Marma therapy and Abhyanga-Shirodhara treatment. Drawing on 40 years of deep meditation practice and guided by careful, systematic observation, he identified the key moments in the art of massage and reflexology. From this insight, Pierre developed his unique Reflexo-Nidra Massage. His specialized techniques guide clients into a profound state of Yoga-Nidra. Today, his mastery of foot massage is wholly devoted to his heartfelt commitment to care and healing.
