Esalen Massage is the name given to a set of practices – in part, more of an attitude than a set of techniques – which evolved out of a long process of exploration, cross-pollination, and interaction with related bodywork and human development practices at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. Esalen massage is characterized by long, lengthening strokes with gentle rocking and stretching; passive joint movement; sculpting of deep musculature; and delicate cranial balancing.
