Exploring Marma Therapy with Ami Jayaprada Hirschstein

 Marma Therapy is an ancient Ayurvedic practice developed centuries ago in India. It is essentially Ayurvedic acupressure and energy work. Each Marma point is connected to different energy pathways throughout your body. It is similar to acupuncture, although no needles are used. Instead, a Marma Therapist uses pressure, vibration and herbal oils to open up blocked energy pathways. You can also do Marma on yourself. Doctor Lad, who Ami studied Marma therapy with, states, "Touching a Marma point changes the body's biochemistry and can unfold radical, alchemical changes in one's makeup. Stimulation of these inner pharmacy pathways signals the body to produce exactly what is needs, including hormones and neurochemicals that heal the body, mind and consciousness." Come give and receive this relaxing and meditative practice. (No partner is necessary as we will pair up at the workshop.)

Bring a blanket and pillow or any other items you need for being comfortable laying on the floor.
