Hi,
Saw this thread today. I've attended this course last October in south London. It was a great day! The teacher was fantastic, very energetic. We had many laughs during all the tough work. Yes, it was very much in one day. I suspect it would have been easier if I had had more practical knowledge of massage beforehand. I only had part of the theory (books and dvd:s).
Also, I agree with Sue and Tiger. With just that single day of practise I don't think it would be possible to go out and massage unknown people. It takes a lot of practise before that. The teacher urged us to do that too.
My reason for attending the course was purely for familiar reasons and if that's your aim too I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much as I did. We got very good notes to follow at home.
One thing - if you decide on this - avoid driving a car. The course was so intense physically and mentally that at least I was completely exhausted afterwards. It was hard to concentrate on anything else. Guess you could say I was "high" It took hours for my head to slow down.
But yes - I would absolutely recommend it!
