Hybrid Course Overview
5-Day Hands-On Workshop

What is hybrid learning?
Due to the complex nature and science of the lymphatic system, we've developed a hybrid approach to training that allows you time to read, research and absorb the basics of the theory, so you can spend more time practicing and refining the techniques in class.
Online instruction includes a series of required reading and videos that begin once you register and set a foundation for deeper understanding of the techniques. Lecture will include a review of the online content with an opportunity to ask questions for clarity.
Practical, hands-on instruction will focus on a review of the basic anatomy and physiology of the lymph vessel system, along with a detailed demonstration and practice of ASTECC's basic neck and face routine.
