Acupressure and Yoga: Gateway into Deeper Practice and Understanding

Join Tias and Surya for a deeply rejuvenating immersion providing the essential knowledge on how to use pressure point stimulation in any therapeutic context to heal the body.

In yoga and Ayurveda, there are vital acupressure points located on the surface of the body that connect to the energetic circuitry of nerve and blood. In this course we detail the 21 most important acupressure points (known as marma points in Ayurveda) that can be directly stimulated through yoga postures. Via pressure point therapy, we activate the flow of prana at each marma point to improve circulation through the skin, fascia and organs. We study the anatomical location of each point, comparing and contrasting the marma points of Ayurveda to the acupuncture points used in Chinese Medicine.

Each day includes pressure point release via somatic practices (SATYA) and yoga postures, including the direct stimulation of bolsters, blocks, the floor and belts. Each day we cover ways to impart direct stimulation on the points using small physio balls. In dyads, we use restorative poses such as supta baddha konasana, savasana, and leg-up-the-wall pose combined with manual pressure point release. Each day, Tias and Surya weave together many rich and delightful teachings including poems of awakening, guided meditation, somatic awareness and chant.
