Ayurvedic Abhyangam Massage Training 
 

Our body-mind system is a wonderful mechanism that has the potential to help us move through life feeling supported and vibrant. As individuals we are the expression of an innate wisdom that exists in a dynamic balance, however, due to several factors - including lifestyle and nutritional habits, environment and seasonal changes, as well as relationships and upbringing - we may experience states of imbalance and disease. The Ayurvedic Wisdom goes far beyond “prevention and treatment of diseases”: it entails a way of understanding reality that directs every single intervention in the field of Ayurvedic Medicine. With the understanding of these basic principles, we have designed the Ayurvedic Massage Course, not only as a valuable therapeutic tool, but above all, as a way to connect each participant with an ancient, holistic healing system, capable of healing the subtle layers of mind, emotions and spirit. The approach to learning is embodied as we strongly support embodiment as a form of effortless transmission. The aim is to share the depth of Ayurveda in a way that is approachable and easy to digest: to create space to integrate what you have learned with us over the months of training, in your own life.

​

Who is this course for?

• Beginners with little or no knowledge of Ayurvedic massage techniques;

• Anyone wanting to enrich their existing practice with the knowledge of Ayurvedic massage skills – thus, yoga students, teachers or therapists; lifestyle and nutritional advisors; sound or energy healers; coaches as well as professional massage therapists.

How will you learn?

We support the value of learning by doing, so expect the theory to be the support of your own experience and practice. You will be guided on your journey into the energetic elements of the massage practices, as well as supported in mastering the technical aspects. 

 

During the in-person classes:

• the teacher will demonstrate each set of techniques in detail and hands-on, offering feedback meant to increase your skills and confidence

• you will be working with your partner, practicing each set of techniques on them: even those that have never offered any massage, will benefit from the experience of connecting through touch, discovering the uniqueness of their gunas

• you will experience each technique by receiving it yourself: this contributes to the embodied and deeper experience, from which you will be able to share touch with awareness

• you will have the possibility to study on your own and practice with your partner in between the sessions
