2024-01-06 10:00 - 11:30 | The Chattery, 231 Broad Street, Chattanooga, TN, 37402, United States
If holiday sweets have left you feeling bloated, heavy, sluggish, or just not yourself, it’s possible you’ve accumulated undigested food waste and need to gently detox. Often translated as ‘toxins’, undigested food waste is the gunk that builds up in the system after overeating or eating before the previous meal was digested.

In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn Ayurvedic methods to gently detox the system from ama, using simple herbs, house-made siddhajals or herbal waters, steam treatments, dietary guidelines, and more. You’ll discover unique weight management methods to support you through the winter, along with seasonal health guidelines, so you can feel balanced, vibrant, and fit, all winter-long.

Ayurvedic Head Massage [IN-PERSON]
2023-05-25 18:00 - 19:30 | The Chattery, 231 Broad Street, Chattanooga, TN, 37402, United States
Ayurvedic head massage is an ancient Indian massage practice that uses a copious amount of herbal oil on the scalp, shoulders, and face, to relax all areas above the clavicle, and induce a state of calm restfulness. This practice tonifies and softens the hair, relaxes the mind and sense organs, relieves stress and tension, and induces sound sleep. It’s beneficial for anyone who experiences restlessness, insomnia, hyperactivity, tension, or overuse of the sense organs, like with all-day screen time.
Co-taught by Eric Maklan, PhD, Rolfer, LMT of Chattanooga Bodyworks, and wife Jennifer Maklan, Ayurvedic Physician, of Chattanooga Ayurveda, this class will provide you with the skills to give a transportive head massage experience to yourself or your loved ones. You’ll learn the benefits, techniques, and materials to use, so you can make this a part of your daily routine as a self-massage, or provide to a friend or family member. Come with an old shirt (something you don’t mind getting oil on), an old bandana or head wrap, and a partner to practice on, or partner up with another attendee. Delight in this wonderful experience.

Eric changed direction and became a Certified Rolfer to bring the highest level of manual therapy to every body. He holds certificates in the treatment of common injury, neural and visceral mobilization, and has trained in Ayurvedic therapies in India.
