Massage techniques have been practiced by people in India for over a thousand years. Massage plays a vital role in family life. Many Indian infants still receive a daily massage from birth to keep them in good health. From three to six years old, they are massaged a couple of times a week and after six they are taught to share a massage with family members on a regular basis.

Indian head massage is a stimulating massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck and head, where tension is normally held. It is a simple and safe therapy that promotes relaxation while alleviating aches and pains. Indian head massage works with a firm yet gentle rhythm to help loosen muscles as well as ease tension and relieve the uncomfortable accumulation of toxins in the body. It is a non-invasive therapy that is performed with the client sitting in a chair, fully clothed.

In this one day workshop you will learn how to give an effective Indian Head Massage. We will also be covering the Marma Points of the head and shoulders and the essential oils that relate to these points.
