Lomi noho is a seated form of lomilomi — noho meaning “chair” or “to sit.” Taught in the style of Kumu Dane Silva, this 5-hour CE class introduces upper-body techniques, seated body mechanics, and practical applications for clients who cannot lie on a table, community settings, office work, or events. No special massage chair is required — a regular chair is all you need.
