Course Description
Kalari Massage is based on the knowledge of the Marma points, the vital points of the body where structures pulsate and pain exists. Marma Chikitsa - the ancient Siddha / ayurvedic system for pressure point bodywork- this course will take you into the theoretical and practical realm of Siddha / Ayurveda’s Tridosha/ Pacha Bhootha System’ of the 108 Vital Points. According to eastern Ayurvedic science, the human body is a biological combination of the five elements – Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The combination of Ether and Air form Vata, Fire and Water form Pitta and Water and Earth form Kapha. Ayurveda further categorizes each dosha into subtypes ( or subdoshas), depending upon their function and location. Varmas are portals into the multidimensionality of life. As junction points between consciousness and physiology, they provide a window into interchangeability of energy and matter.
This workshop will explore how Varma therapy supports and complements ayurvedic and yoga therapies, and we will all get an opportunity to experience the power of Varma Science through learning a simple full body protocol. Clothes are worn for this training and students can bring along their notebook, tea or water, their meditation cushion and a blanket.
Marma Therapy utilizes numerous techniques to stimulate the Marmani (Marmaa Practitioner). Primarily, the following two techniques are used:
• Pressing Technique: Press along the hard body surfaces with flat hands moving in a circular manner. Caress and compress the softer areas of the body, applying wave-like pressure while constantly moving upward.
• Small Circular Thumb Movements: Small, circular, clockwise and counter clockwise massage movements are generally applied with the thumb to essential Varma points of the body.
Although these are foundational techniques, there are other methods to stimulate Varmas, like aromatherapy oils and the application of heat. Ultimately, however, it is the practitioner’s skill, knowledge, attention and awareness, on a solid platform of love and compassion, that are crucial for attaining effective therapeutic results.
