The Love Institute

Who knew my fiancé and I were secretly professional masseuses?! We’re big fans of couples massages and gift them to each other for anniversaries. So I figured «give a couple a massage and relieve them for a day; teach a couple to massage and relieve them for a lifetime!» It was ridiculous how quickly this class brought out the masseuse in us.
After a short demo from the instructor you perform the techniques on your partner, starting with the back, shoulders and head, and working down to the feet. I’m not kidding when I say it felt exactly like a professional massage. It will make you wonder if your partner was secretly replaced by a real masseuse. In our class, girls massaged first, which I kinda liked as I could later feel what everything I learned actually did. For guys, it was the opposite, feeling first, then learning. Both massages were a full hour! I’ve never given longer than a 10 minute massage in my life. But there I was, massaging away like a pro, for the same amount of time we usually pay someone else to do it.
The info on the website gives some confusing instructions on clothing. We both wore workout clothes, as did many other couples, which was perfect. I felt a little bad for the lady in tight jeans. It recommends a bikini top, but I just wore a regular bra which was fine. I would definitely advise against a sports bra.
The only tiny nit I could pick is that the instruction was a bit of information overload. Several different techniques are given for each body part at a time. Given the time limit of the class, I understand why they do this, but remembering 3 – 4 brand new techniques at a time was a little bit of a challenge for me. it did help that they were reiterated to the other person when it was their turn so we got to hear it twice.
Overall though we were very impressed with the class and look forward to a lifetime to free awesome massages!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our massage class. We would highly recommend. A great date night that we can use forever!!! Instructor was fantastic!!!

My boyfriend surprised me with this class as a day date for us. I was excited to go and
had high hopes! I’m happy to say we both had a great time. Both of us received a very long massage from each other and left feeling very connected and relaxed. Gina was a wonderful instructor full of light and love. She made us feel comfortable right away and taught us in a fun and professional manner. The space was large so we had plenty of room to move around. The equipment & supplies she used were all professional grade and parking behind the building
was convenient. We are looking forward to our 2^nd class on the rest of the body AND
the candle class in Feb! All in all– I’d recommend this class to all couples.
