Chavutti Thirumal is a form of massage from South India that uses the practitioners foot to massage the body.

It was originally practised by the warriors in South India to loosen soft tissues and joints as well as lengthen the spine of students who would then undergo hard rigorous martial arts training.

This form of massage is relatively new to the West and is rarely taught fully to westerners with large elements essentially being left out. This is a first time opportunity to learn the full sequence.

• Full traditional sequenced routine which lasts over an hour.
• Kalari Marma Massage - done with the client in different Yoga positions
