Host a Sarga Bodywork Course

Sarga Bodywork’s instructors may be willing to travel to teach a course, or recurring courses at your venue. Venues can be either commercial or residential. Rental rates can be negotiated and terms will vary per location. If you are interested in hosting a course, please review our course location requirements below and contact us to discuss further. For private staff courses, instructor(s) airfare and lodging must be covered, unless otherwise negotiated.

VENUE Requirements for Sarga BODYWORK COURSES

  1. Classroom space large enough to hold 3-4 massage tables. Minimum dimensions are 12 feet by 22 feet of open floor space (this does not account for door-swing clearance, furniture, cabinetry, etc.).

  2. Access to a bathroom with hot water (an additional sink in the teaching space is ideal).

  3. The ability to receive a few shipped boxes with class materials. If the host site is a recurring venue, it must have the ability to store these items between courses.

  4. For US venues, the host site must be able to provide general liability insurance coverage and preferably carry a Massage Establishment License.

For courses taught on floor-based raised massage tables:

  1. One yoga mat and two yoga blocks per student must be provided.

  2. All massage tables used for the course must have the following specifications:

    • The ability to be laid flat on the floor via disengaging one end of both lengthwise undercarriage cables.

    • Width must be no narrower than 28” (tables that are between 30” and 35” wide are ideal).

    • Must have the necessary hardware installed on each table in order to provide secure tie-offs for the Sarga Silk.
