Am curious to know, when you studied hot stone massage, were you shown a specific routine to use or where you encouraged to use the skills you already have?
would you prefer a specific routine or would you find it more beneficial to concentrate on the use of stones and getting used to them?

I think a mixture of both. Since it is classed as an advanced massage form ie, you need a body massage qualification prior to doing this then the person should have some knowledge of massage already so the Hot Stone training is building on that, plus getting used to the stones, trying new moves, seeing what works for them and what doesnt is all beneficial. Also for the students to practise on each other so they can feel the stones and their heat etc.
