Advanced soft tissue release for Ayurvedic massage therapists

Advanced soft tissue release for Ayurvedic massage therapists

Price £230 (payment plans available)

Date: TBC

Ayurvedic massage is based on moving vital force, prana, to enhance healing and relaxation. Circular and longitudinal movements guide prana to follow pathways of the body that have correlation with fascial lines and meridians (nadis). They can have a strong effect of releasing deep seated patterns that have set in tissues by structural damage or by mental impressions. The strokes are either slow or fast, light or strong in pressure, depending on clients’ individual needs and treatment method. Release is achieved by moving along the muscle fibre, the way prana naturally flows.

An ayurvedic massage therapist is a facilitator to allow body’s own repairing mechanisms to take place. In this course we learn to integrate soft tissue manipulation techniques into abhyanga sequence (full body massage), develop practical and theoretical skills to powerfully release tension in skeletal muscles and fascia. You will learn myofascial release techniques and muscle energy techniques that benefit from the body’s own mechanisms to stretch at deep level. The combination of work from both physical and energetic plains will give you an ability to deliver sustainable freedom from tension for your clients.

 

We will learn

  • Principles of soft tissue therapy
  • Assessment of soft tissues
  • How to manage inflammation
  • Treatment modalities to support soft tissue repair

Entry requirements:

This course is for trained ayurveda therapists and practitioners with minimum L3 knowledge in anatomy and physiology.

Anu Paavola, B. Sc (Hons) Ayurveda, MAPA

Anu is the founder of Jivita Academy of Ayurveda. She has been involved in education in Finland already when studying in the university of Helsinki in the Nineties. The real passion for teaching was inspired by her turn of career from language studies to ayurveda. Anu realised soon that to get results with clients they needed fundamental education on basic healthy living. Ayurveda is mainly about self-care and most of the times clients need help in understanding what is in their power to do.

Having started teaching in a yoga teacher training school called Yoga London in 2010 she developed her interest in education and launched Jivita Academy of Ayurveda to respond to the high demand of quality courses with hands on approach for therapists and nutritionists.

Two main courses are offered by the academy at the moment: a 200h intensive training for therapists and a full 1000h diploma course for therapists and nutritionist. The latter is also a foundation course for 3000h ayurvedic practitioner qualification.

The passion in education in also visible in client work. Anu is passionate about translating ancient wisdom of healing into modern context. She empowers her clients to take charge of their own health by increasing awareness in nutrition based on their individual needs. Incorporating her twenty years of practice and teaching of yoga Anu’s approach to healing is almost unique to anywhere in London or UK.

Anu has created a community of enthusiasts by teaching that health in its right form brings about joy in life. Healing and recovering in her opinion do not exclude fun and enjoyment but are an extension of balanced and abundant life.
