While furthering my studies as a yoga teacher in India, I was lucky to sample many kinds of massage therapy, from all types of practitioners, native and Western. But it took just one session of Indian Rope Massage, and I was hooked, amazed by the enormous benefits of a massage that uses bodyweight and gravity to go much deeper than regular massage – really working on the deep lines of the body.

I underwent my training in this ancient massage technique – called Chavutti Thirumal – not far from where it originated in Kerala, South India. The massage lasts nearly two hours, when the front, back and sides of the body are massaged by the feet of the therapist using a rope for balance. The masseuer moves in a rhythmic, dance-like movement, adjusting her weight with precision to work deep into the muscles as well as activating the energy points (marmas) and channels (nadis) throughout the body.

The massage is excellent for yogis, athletes and other active bodies, but can also be adjusted for a gentle massage if preferred. It can work to realign physical structure, remove joint and muscular pain, tone organs, detoxify body tissues and help free up the body's energy (prana) throughout the entire body.

A massage like no other!
