8 Day Ayurvedic Massage Course  in Rishikesh

Ayurveda is the world’s oldest medical system and lifestyle concept. In Sanskrit  “Ayur” means ”Life” and ”Veda” means ”science”. In spiritual scriptures, we can find ayurvedic texts more than 5000 years old. Ayurveda is a science of life and healthy well-being. It not only cures diseases but works on the prevention, and maintenance of physical, mental & social balance.

We offer the Best ayurvedic massage course in Rishikesh.

The theory of Ayurveda same to yoga is based on 5 elements (Pancha Mahabhuta), and 7 Tissues (Saptu Dhatu). These theories define body constitution  (dosha) and the way of therapeutic treatment (herbs, massages, diet, asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra).

This course will help you to understand the basic of Ayurveda herbal medicine and its application in daily life. Ayurveda works not only on the physical but on the energy body as well. As we know disease appears firstly in the energy body and then after that in the physical body as well. By application of Ayurveda, we can prevent the development of diseases.

You can find plenty of different courses in Rishikesh in Ayurveda massage. We are the Institute of Vedic science and our approach is always based on scientific research with a long year of experience. We will not only blindly teach you how to touch clients’ bodies and apply firm pressure to the skin surface.

Our goal is this- you will understand how to choose for the client massage and relaxation techniques, how to organize and create a space for massage, how to adjust relaxation, how to communicate with the client during a massage, hands position, and alignment, how to find acupressure and marma points, how to apply oil, how to finish the massage, how to perform post-massage body warm, how to increase massage effect after massage.

Do not use Ayurvedic medicine to replace conventional care or to postpone seeing a health care provider about a medical problem. Ayurveda can be used and advised before, in parallel, or after allopathic medicine treatment.
