“In Ayurveda the abdomen is considered both physically and energetically to be the centre of the body. Within our bodies the abdomen houses our organs. It is where we feel our emotions deeply, from butterflies to gut instinct.”
Unlocking the Physical & Emotional Power of the Abdomen
Did you know that the abdomen is a crucial part of the body? In learning to treat this part through Ayurvedic abdominal massage, we can unlock a vast range of health benefits. Imbalances can be addressed directly, making this an essential tool for any practitioner.
In Ayurveda, the abdomen is considered both physically and energetically to be the center of the body. It houses our vital organs and is where we feel our emotions deeply — from a churning stomach to feelings of butterflies. Much of our lived experience lives in our gut, and we immediately feel the effects when things are out of balance.
The abdomen contains a vast network of subtle energy centres (chakras and marmas). Ayurveda teaches that physical challenges in this area can be symptoms of blocked energy. Ayurvedic abdominal massage directly addresses these issues and, by treating the digestive system, brings profound health benefits to the client.
From a physical perspective, abdominal massage supports local musculature, helping tone the abdomen, break down cellulite, and assist in burning abdominal fat deposits. It releases deep visceral tension, offering substantial relief for conditions such as constipation, IBS, and acute back pain originating from abdominal restriction.
By the end of the course, you will be confident to share this life-supporting practice with your clients and well on your way to offering the restorative healing of Ayurvedic abdominal marma massage.
