Friday Night Master Class - Marma Yoga: Pathways to Ease, 6-7:15 pm
Experience a unique fusion of yoga and ancient Ayurvedic wisdom through this gentle, therapeutic practice that awakens your body's natural healing intelligence. Marma Yoga guides you through carefully sequenced postures and movements designed to stimulate the 107 vital “Marma” energy points throughout your body—the subtle junctions where consciousness meets physical form.
Unlike vigorous yoga styles, this practice emphasizes slow, mindful movements combined with breath awareness and gentle techniques, designed to clear blockages and restore the free flow of prana (life force) to the body and mind. The result is a profound sense of lightness, mental clarity, and deep relaxation that extends well beyond the mat.
This practice is accessible to all levels—no prior yoga or Ayurvedic experience needed. You'll leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and equipped with simple techniques to support your own wellbeing whenever tension arises. Perfect for those seeking relief from stress, physical discomfort, or simply wanting to deepen their mind-body connection through time-tested healing wisdom.
Saturday and Sunday, 10 am - 4 pm
Through this journey, you'll explore how Ayurveda illuminates our connection to nature and guides us toward understanding our authentic Self and our place within the natural world. We'll trace Ayurveda's rich history from ancient times to the present day, examining why its profound insights remain remarkably relevant for navigating the complexities of modern life.
You'll gain practical knowledge of Ayurveda's comprehensive approach to sustainable, long-term wellbeing, and how it can support healing across physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. By understanding constitutional differences and individual needs, you'll discover how to apply Ayurveda's multi-dimensional framework to cultivate true health, or svastha, in your own life and support your ongoing healing and growth.
This weekend welcomes everyone—whether you're curious about Ayurveda for personal transformation or seeking to deepen your professional practice. The class is especially valuable for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, yoga teacher trainees, health coaches, and anyone considering further study in this profound and ancient healing tradition.
Marma therapy, a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine, focuses on the body’s vital energy points to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This class offers a unique opportunity to deepen your yoga practice by integrating the ancient wisdom of Marma therapy, enhancing your understanding of the body’s intricate energy pathways. You will be introduced to the fundamental principles of Marma therapy, and explore how these points are intricately connected to the body’s systems, influencing physical health and emotional balance.
