The Kalari Marma massage is a dynamic form of massage from South India and is used to therapeutically balance energetic blockages and to strengthen and mobilize the musculoskeletal system. Blocked marmas (vital points) can "open up" again and blocked nadis (energy channels) become more permeable. The Kalari massage leads to release processes on all levels of the tissue structures and thus to a profound cleansing and harmonization of all body circuits.

This 3-day intensive course teaches the Kalari massage from the South Indian tradition of Kalari Payattu in its Western form of application. It is the basic treatment for other forms of therapy from the Mama Nadi tradition (see seminars on Marma therapy).

No prior knowledge is required. Basic knowledge of Ayurvedic constitutional theory is helpful.
