31.01–02.02.2025 Level 1

07–09.02.2025 Level 2

Each course consists of 20 hours, divided into 5 hours per day.

The 3-day “CHAVUTTI THIRUMAL” Level 1 training is followed by Level 2, which is completed in two stages, totaling 40 hours of practice on various bodies and receiving guidance from the instructor.

This Indian massage technique is performed by applying pressure with the feet, balancing one’s weight and pressure with the aid of a suspension rope. The feet glide with varying pressures over the entire body and specific areas, facilitated by the application of warm oils.

Chavutti Thirumal is taught following the tradition of Indian master Padma Nair from Kerala, South India.

The course includes both theory and practice. As this is an advanced practice, it is recommended that students have prior knowledge in bodywork, yoga, martial arts, or dance, as well as basic anatomy.

Students will receive a full massage from the instructor before the start of the Level 1 course.

Upon completing the 40-hour course (Levels 1 & 2), students will master:

  • The technique and choreography (back & front sequence / Level 1, lateral position & alternatives, face / Level 2) of the massage, developing the following skills:

  • Awareness and dexterity in applying foot pressure with balance.

  • Deep tissue massage combined with breathing techniques.

  • Postural integrity with alignment to maintain a high energy level.

  • Basic concepts of Ayurveda—principles, doshas, use and effects of oils.

  • Contraindications, common pains, and their release points.

An illustrated manual with photos and texts, in English, details the complete sequence.

Students will also explore an alternative to the rope, enabling them to travel and offer the massage anywhere.

Each day, students receive instruction from the teacher, share, and practice on new bodies.

Students receive continuous and personalized constructive feedback to enhance their practice.

Upon completing the full course, a certificate will attest to the hours acquired and professional practice of the modality, which includes a minimum of 40 hours and a supervision with Sophie, allowing the use of the title “Chavutti Thirumal Practitioner.”
