Are couples massage classes awkward?

Many people worry they'll feel self-conscious, especially during the first few minutes. And they probably will - that's completely normal!

We're used to performing in many areas of life but a couples massage class often asks us to do the opposite: slow down, pay attention and become present with another person. Once people realise there's no expectation to "get it right", the awkwardness usually softens into curiosity.
