what I’m studying now
Ever heard of marma chikitsa? That’s what I’m studying now. It’s a really great intersection for me, as it combines both massage and yoga into one healing modality. Why am I studying this though?
The yoga center is opening it’s fifth location, and this location has only one yoga room (but it’s really huge), and 4 spa treatment rooms. The people in charge have asked me if I would be open to doing massage there, since it’s widely known among my students that I’m a massage therapist. The center is also hiring ayurvedic doctors to train me (and probably a few others) in dosha balancing massage, marma chikitsa, shila abhyangam (hot stone massage), shirodhara, and aromatherapy. I can’t say no to free training… and also, I would love to do massage in a place where it’s valued as a healing therapy.
Excitement! I’ve been reading texts on this for days, and it gets better and better…
yay for massage as healing therapy 🙂

RYN: I REALLY wanted to, but ran out of space and time. There were actually many more I wanted to use. I’m actually thinking of making a “Director’s Cut” to re-do things that annoy me and actually add in some backgrounds and stuff.
