"SARGA BODYWORK® is a barefoot massage method that employs the use of a fabric strap fastened to a massage table to deliver therapeutic myofascial and deep tissue techniques. This length of fabric is used by practitioners for stability and to add tensional and gravitational force to specific manual therapy methods.
Sarga Bodywork marries method & design, enabling practitioners to gain tensional support and force with a fabric strap fastened to a massage table. By pulling up on the fabric while applying downward pressure, this added energy is safely and effectively transferred onto the recipient’s body. The combination of gravitational and tensional force with our methods allows practitioners to deliver consistent, oblique pressure to provide a uniquely effective myofascial therapy. We celebrate the broad, densely innervated surfaces of our feet as perhaps the most effective and intelligent tools for this purpose!
The word sarga has meaning both in Spanish and in Sanskrit. In Spanish, sarga refers to a tapestry woven from many different threads. This is a fitting concept for us, since Sarga Bodywork synthesizes techniques and teachings from many different traditions. It is appropriate that this metaphor of a tapestry is connected to the fabric that we hold in our hands for balance and support. In Sanskrit, the word Sarga can refer to a creation or origin energy, made manifest into form. This idea sustains our mission to provide techniques and materials that help inspire bodyworkers to resource their innate creativity in ways that are mindful, safe, and fabulously efficient."
