Indian Head Massage Class
Learn Classical Indian Head Massage -Shiroabhyanga
The head area holds great healing potential according to the ancient system of Ayurveda. It is an area of the body with the highest density of Marma points (energy channels) and other energy gateways into the body (similar to acupressure points in Traditional Chinese Medicine). In Ayurveda these Marma points are used to unblock energy channels & encourage the flow of energy (prana) in the entire body.
