Detailed Description of Classes
Intro to FHM (3 CE): An introduction to Floating Hammock Massage, a new form of fully-clothed bodywork where the client lies perpendicularly in a special hammock made from aerial silk fabric. The movement of the hammock is harnessed using three dimensional touch to create a deep relaxation response, often involving the feeling of blissful floating. This course is now a prerequisite for FHM Level 1.
FHM Level 1 (16CE): Students will learn foundational techniques core to FHM as well as a full hour sequence, basic polyvagal theory and rigging options. FHM is a game-changing new form of fully-clothed bodywork that uses the movement of a hammock and three dimensional touch to support a deep relaxation response, often involving the feeling of blissful floating.
FHM Level 2 (16CE): Covers side-lying and advanced techniques, building on and deepening the core principles of FHM Level 1 (prerequisite) with new “patterns to make and break” as well as additional hand/body placements utilizing three dimensional touch.
FHNSR/Floating Hammock Nervous System Regulation Level 1 (4CE): Introduces a unique system of breathwork, hammock manipulation, and eye movement patterns designed to rewire stress pathways and increase the body’s capacity for relaxation—whether practiced on its own or as a preparatory sequence before Floating Hammock Massage®.
Powerful Breathwork to Combat Stress (2CE): Learn specific and effective breathing exercises to combat stress and awaken your body’s ability to deeply rest and recover, improving your ability to take care of yourself as you care for others! There will be an emphasis on direct practice with some discussion of anatomy, the autonomic nervous system and Polyvagal Theory. Learn the important step that is often left out of breathwork, the key to “unlocking” your diaphragm, and powerful breathing techniques that tone and support the vagus nerve!
Ethics and The Nervous System (3CE): This course explores how nervous system states impact power dynamics, boundaries, and consent. Includes trauma-informed frameworks, embodied practices, and tools for navigating ethical complexity with greater clarity and care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers.
Do you get a free hammock with attendance?
No, but there will be plenty of hammocks rigged for participants to enjoy during the training. There will be one Cloud Hammock rigged for every two participants in each training, thus limiting class size and ensuring that everyone receives ample time giving and receiving the work.
What kind of hammock is required for Floating Hammock Massage?
FHM requires a hammock that allows the client to rest perpendicularly. The Cloud Hammock was invented for this purpose and is the most versatile when it comes to rigging. FHM can also be done in extra large aerial yoga hammocks and extra large woven Mayan hammocks, although performance is reduced and rigging requires a larger footprint (not compatible with portable stands). Cloud Hammocks will be offered at a reduced price at trainings.
Will rigging be covered in class?
We will go over very basic rigging in Intro to FHM and more detailed rigging requirements, dimensions, and options in FHM Level 1. The minimum footprint for a Cloud Hammock with hang points built into the wall is 8’x10’. There are different free-standing rigs capable of holding the Cloud Hammock, and the one with the smallest footprint requires a width that is 9 feet. There is no existing free-standing rig that supports a large aerial yoga hammock (minimum wall distance/width for a large aerial yoga hammock is 11 feet for built-in hang points).
I’m not very flexible, will I be able to do this modality?
Yes! FHM can be modified to meet the needs of the practitioner. There is only one body position that requires lying on the ground in FHM Level 1, and it’s optional.
What if I get motion sickness easily?
During FHM, the motion of the hammock can be controlled and modified to stay within the receiver’s “therapeutic zone.” In extreme situations please consult before attending.
Is this a gimmick?
Absolutely not! FHM has been in development for over 10 years. Clients often relax more deeply in the hammock than on the table, and the profound experience of clients is what has fueled the development and growth of this new modality.
