The attendance at Bowen courses requires for you to have:
Short cut nails (after the procedures demonstrations you will learn to do the moves practicing on each other, and for the correct positioning we will work on bare skin, so we must make sure we won’t leave marks on our colleagues)
Comfortable clothing and “working equipment” – short trousers or bathing suit, so on.
An eye liner (to mark the correct position of the moves on the skin)
Two big towels (one to have on the massage tables for you to lay on and the other to cover you)
A notebook to take notes
Good mood!

The course starts at 09 a.m. and finishes at 17.00 p.m. every day. There will be two coffee breaks (one in the morning and the second in the afternoon), for which we shall provide water, tea, coffee, biscuits, cookies, etc and a lunch break between 13.00 -14.15, when everybody should choose on its own where to have lunch.
