Ayurvedic Foot Massage Workshop

Back by popular demand, Sunshine Ayurveda is delighted once again to offer its Ayurvedic Foot Massage (Padabhyanga) Workshop, presented by experienced Ayurvedic Doctor Ram Mani Bhandari.

This 3 hour workshop introduces you to traditional therapeutic foot massage techniques and gives you the skills to perform a daily routine on yourself or as an additional healing modality to offer your clients.

Your foot is made up of 26 bones and a complex network of muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerve endings. Ayurvedic anatomy also recognises the multitude of vital energy points (marma) in the feet which are connected to almost every part of your body.

Benefits of padabhyanga

By consciously working on your feet, using time-tested traditional techniques and specially selected medicated oils, you can improve your sense of wellbeing and experience a wide range of benefits. An Ayurvedic foot massage:

• Helps calm the mind
• Promotes quality sleep
• Improves circulation in the feet and legs
• Nourishes the skin on the feet
• Aids foot health (alleviates pain, improves muscle tone and strength)
• Helps maintain eyesight and hearing and
• Balances Vata dosha.

What you will learn

The workshop incorporates both theoretical and practical requirements of this therapy in a clinical setting at Sunshine Ayurveda. It includes:

• An introduction to Ayurveda and its healing modality
• Identification of key marmas on the feet and how to effectively work on them to optimise treatment benefits
• Guidance on how to choose the most appropriate Ayurvedic medicated oil to use for an individual according to his/her dosha
• A basic introduction to traditional Kansa wand foot massage and
• Guidelines on how to incorporate Ayurvedic foot massage into your daily self-care routine.

An Ayurvedic foot massage is a great way to show appreciation and offer daily relaxation to this most deserving part of your body.
