Massage basics for Yoga teachers - Marma Therapy

Massage basics for Yoga teachers - Marma Therapy

Marmas are integral to all Ayurvedic therapies from simple self-treatments to complex clinical procedures. They form one of the main pillars of Ayurvedic thought and practice. Marmas are also an important aspect of the science of Yoga, with which Ayurveda is closely connected. Yoga not only has a sophisticated system of physical postures, it also recognizes the power of Prana or the life-force, which is reflected through the marma points on the surface of the body. An understanding of marmas can add greater efficacy to any level or type of yoga practice whether using the body, the breath or the mind.  

Marmas are part of a greater 'sacred physiology' that maps out the body according to subtle energy currents and power points. The body has its own special sacred points just as the Earth has its sacred sites and energy currents according to sacred geography. We must learn this sacred geography of our own body in order to attune ourselves both to the Earth and to the greater cosmos. 

In this course you will learn the basics of applying Marma therapy points to your Yoga students of clients alike.

Besides learning a few key Marma points, you will also learn the fundamentals of touch and massage so that you can integrate them into your current work as a yoga teacher or therapist.

Proper, confident and sacred touch is paramount to build trust with our clients.
