Jari Menari

Since Jari Menari (meaning literally ‘dancing fingers’) opened in 2001, the signature massage has earned its reputation as Bali’s best and the American owner now teaches the basic skills of her specific and effective technique. This team of all-male Indonesian therapists now shares those healing secrets during one-day workshops for up to 20 visitors, in an on-site, air-conditioned training center. The one-day program takes students through three hours of instruction in touch and technique, complimented by a workbook that lists the steps to delivering a muscle-relaxing, 25-minute massage. Teachers and students enjoy an Indonesian lunch together before the guests receive a full 90-minute massage from a Jari Menari therapist that deepens technical understanding and delivers one of the artful pleasures for which Bali is known. Beginners are welcome.
