Marma points (Marmani) are vital energy points on the body that are important junctures to the energy pathways for healing. The origin of acupuncture or shiatsu of Traditional Chinese Medicine, they are often compared, but though similar, the system and knowledge of Marma Chikitsa is the antecedent, that has been used as an assessment tool, and often referred to as tools for opening the doors of perception, as well as a therapeutic modality for healing body, mind and consciousness for thousands of years. Marmani are classified according to their location on the body, the tissue of which they are composed, and the effects felt if injured.
Ayurvedic Massage Therapy and Yoga Therapy are based upon the knowledge of these sensitive, vital anatomical points, where structures pulsate and pain can exist. They are reflex anatomical sites, where flesh, veins, arteries, tendons, bones and joints meet and connect by subtle channels similar to meridians that carry energy and impulses that vitalize us.
This program provides 12 contact hours in Marma Therapeutic Ayurvedic Massage where participants will learn several ways to incorporate Marma Chikitsa into their massage, yoga, meditation and relaxation practices along with the Ayurvedic theory that supports safe, therapeutic and optimal practice and self care.
This treatment is performed fully clothed, on either a massage table, on the bed or on the floor on a mat.
You will learn 6 flows, and how to incorporate essential oils, small hand crystals and/or a tuning fork, though these items are not required for class participation and training.
Reviews:
"This workshop was amazing! I loved the information that was discussed and put together beyond being able to experience the knowledge. Yoga + Massage + the Marma/Ayurveda will open a new opportunity for my professional life that I have not expected. Integrating what I have learned today will be easy and exciting. It was well put together." Vayla, LMT, Yoga Nidra & Life Coach Astrologer, Tallahassee, FL
"I really enjoyed the format and the information. The most valuable were the variety of flows presented. I learned that Ayurveda has withstood the test of time. It is a whole system mind/body/spirit which I really felt aligned with this weekend. I most enjoyed the experience of marma, and working with others, I like the unity."

"This was a great opportunity to do Ayurvedic anything for me! Chaya's teaching style is very open and easy to learn. The instruction of the massage and the step by step protocol, felt comfortable doing it in exact order, but able enough to create any of my own flow if needed. A great intro to the 3 types, V, P, K :) The class as a whole was extremely enjoyable." Justin Feusseur, LMT, Gaiensville, FL
