Lomi Lomi Training at Ho'omana Spa Maui

Join us for a 7 day intensive covering Lomi Level one advanced Techniques and Lomi 'ili (hot stone therapy). http://www.halehoomana.com 808-573-8256

We teach a style of lomi lomi developed by Native Hawaiian, Dr. Makaala Yates from his extended training with Hawaiian Kupuna (elders) including the late Aunty Margaret Machado. We follow in the lineage of Big Island Style Lomi which is very therapeutic, specific work for addressing injury. It is structural lomi incorporating concepts of Hawaiian spirituality, meditation techniques, and indigenous values. We begin with 3 days of lomi level one, a full body technique. Ho'oponopono (Hawaiian philosophy of spiritual alignment), history of lomi lomi, and ancestral teachings that support this art form enrich our time together. Mid-week, we embark on a ½ day excursion touring sacred energetic sites on the island. On this tour we will be learning about plant medicine, ritual cleansing both at the mountain and the ocean visiting sacred Heiau (Hawaiian Temples). The last 3 days we learn lomi 'ili. In this style of hot stone therapy, heated implements are used as working stones on the body and are an extension of our hands. We go to a peaceful agricultural valley on the east side where we learn to gather stones ceremonially with a gathering chant. This allows us the incredible opportunity to give back to the community we are gathering from by working in the taro patch there. We close the class on the last day with a Hawaiian awa ceremony and graduation celebration. We hope you can join us. If you are interested in registering please contact us. There is limited space in each class to nurture individualized instruction.
