The Indian rope massage, Chavutti Thirumal, originated in Kerala South India. It is performed with the feet, using a rope for balance. This technique allows varying pressure as the foot moulds to the body following the energetic channels, nadis or meridians. Originally developed by the Kalari warriors to promote suppleness and to heal injuries this massage is an ideal compliment to a yoga, martial arts, dance or fitness practice but is equally accessible to all.

The full two hour massage is a luxuriously long experience involving breathing, light stretches and massage with oils, the effect of which is a feeling of deep physical relaxation combined with a stimulating flow of vital energy.
