During this class, Karyn will lead the class through the concepts, theory, benefits, precautionary measures and a demonstration of shirodhara therapy on the first day. On the second and third day of class, students will have the chance to practice and receive shirodhara therapy through a guided practicum forum with Karyn. The class will go on a guided stone harvest on the first day. Shirodhara therapy involves a controlled flow of warm oil is gently poured over the “Ajna” or third eye chakra. The oil then streams down the crown chakra, which magnifies the senses, disperses negative electrical impulses that accumulate at the forehead from stress, reverses imbalances within the body, rejuvenates the face and renews the sweetness of life.
Shirodhara is one of the most unique therapies available for reducing stress and enhancing cellular intelligence and immunity. Scholarships due to financial difficulties may be available. Finance plans available with affordable interest rates.
