Why Train in Spokane
Spokane is an ideal city for barefoot massage and continuing education training. It is easy to reach, easy to navigate, and full of beauty, culture, and nature that support focused, embodied learning. SoleMassage students consistently love how simple it feels to arrive, settle in, and fully engage in class.
Easy Travel & Central Location
Spokane International Airport (GEG) is small, efficient, and close to the city (about a 10 minute drive). Most students are on the ground and on their way within minutes, making travel days straightforward and low stress.
THE SPACE is located east downtown Spokane at teh start of the U Disctrict, with the lower South Hill just minutes away. Whether you walk, bike, or drive, getting to class is easy and predictable, leaving more energy for learning and recovery.
Where to Stay
Quick Guide
Downtown Spokane
Stay within walking distance of class, coffee shops, restaurants, Riverfront Park, and the Spokane River. Many students enjoy being able to walk everywhere before and after training days.
Lower South Hill
A quiet, residential area just a short drive or bike ride from THE SPACE. This is a great option if you prefer a calmer place to land at night while staying close to class.
Airbnb options are widely available in both areas, along with centrally located downtown hotels that are comfortable, convenient, and easy to navigate.
Driven by passion
Nature Built Into the Day
One of Spokane’s highlights is how naturally the outdoors fits into daily life.
The Centennial Trail runs along the Spokane River through downtown, making it easy to take a walk by the water on your lunch break. Riverfront Park is nearby, offering open space, fresh air, and room to decompress.
In the evening, the Pavilion lights up the park and creates a beautiful, relaxed place to stroll after class.
Food, Coffee & Local Favorites
Everything you need is close by.
Grab coffee before class, walk to lunch, or meet classmates for dinner without planning a whole itinerary. Downtown Spokane is filled with markets, restaurants, and cafes that are approachable, high quality, and student friendly.
Beloved local spots like Boo Radleys, Atticus Coffee & Gifts and Auntie’s Bookstore are perfect for post-class wandering, journaling, or a quiet reset.
A City That Complements the Training
Spokane is a beautiful, human-scale city with just the right amount of activity. There are plenty of things to enjoy after class, while still offering the calm and spaciousness needed for integration and rest.
For barefoot massage training, ashiatsu education, and immersive continuing education, Spokane supports deep focus, physical awareness, and genuine connection.
Train with intention. Move your body. Walk the river. Eat well. Rest deeply.
