"I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable information in your DVD's.  I have enjoyed them immensely and learned so much! Some day I would love to attend a live workshop with you. I've been studying Ayurveda on my own through books and other media and I'm fascinated with it! It is a never-ending learning experience that encompasses everything I love!  Many Blessings to you!"

Mirror massage is another name for the infamous four-handed massage, or tandem massage. This is a form of bodywork that incorporates two therapists working on one client. It has its roots in India, more than 10,000 years ago. This technique, which involves two therapists, was traditionally done as an ayurvedic treatment during pancha karma. Pancha karma is ancient India’s form of internal and external purification of body, mind and soul. It was and still is, typically prescribed by an ayurvedic doctor and performed under the close supervision of an ayurvedic doctor.

There is a consistency in the sequence of movements with each body part. All movements go in the direction of apana vayu, the downward flow in the body. Below is an example of our sequence.
 

• Both therapists anoint the skin with warm oil.
   
• "Gliding Compression" towards the hands or feet.
• "Wringing and Squeezing"" of the tissue towards the hands or feet.
   
• "Prayer Hands" as we glide our elbows over the muscles.
   
• Activate the marma points.
