In Varkala, India there is a place that teaches all types of healing modalities. One of my favorite forms I trained in here was Shiatsu, which involved learning about the twelve meridian lines that relate to the vital organs in the body and the disease and symptoms associated with each.

In Chaing Mai, Thailand I learned traditional Thai massage. The modality uses stretching and pressure along Zen or meridian lines. The body is moved by the therapist into various positions, releasing tight muscles through deep pressure, stretching, and lengthening. It can feel like a lazy yoga class for the client.
