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, 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 practice along with the Ayurvedic theory that supports safe, therapeutic and optimal practice and self-care.
CEU's for CEBroker Approved Provider #50-19283, NCBTMB Approved Provider #1192 and NAMA-PACE for Ayurvedic Professionals, (approved by The National Ayurvedic Medical Association, NAMA).
