Ayurvedic Reflexology
Ayurveda is the traditional healing system of India.
It is the oldest known recorded medical system. Massage of the feet and hands has a special place within
Ayurvedic tradition.
Ayurvedic Reflexology is the dynamic integration of
traditional Ayurvedic hand and foot techniques with
contemporary reflexology. The work is dynamic, easy
to apply and can be easily integrated into existing
regimes. Ayurvedic Reflexology is much, much more
than reflexology, and is useful to most body workers.
The direction of energy (prana) flow within the body
is respected and followed during the application of
Ayurvedic Reflexology.
Attendees learn to identify and work vital energy
centres known as Marmas. Some of the most important marmas used for healing purposes, occur in the
limbs.
“This class was the most professional and well researched and prepared of any continuing education
class that I have taken – easily on the level of the
Upledger presentations”.
