Dal 1996, l’istituto ARYM (The Indian Institute of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage) offre un curriculum completo per aiutarvi a crescere nella pratica dell’AYM.
Fin dal 1996 Ananta, fondatore dell’ARYM Institute, si è dedicato con molta passione all’insegnamento di migliaia di allievi provenienti da tutto il mondo.
L’istituto ARYM offre programmi completi per progredire e integrare gradualmente la pratica o l’insegnamento del Massaggio Ayurvedico – Yoga (AYM).
La nostra formazione è accessibile a tutti, inclusi principianti e professionisti di tutti i livelli. Il metodo AYM rappresenta una terapia complementare che puó arricchire le prestazioni tanto di operatori sanitari (medici, infermieri, fisioterapisti, ecc.) che del benessere (massaggiatori, insegnanti yoga / pilates, ecc.).
Per effettuare il corso, non è richiesta alcuna esperienza di massaggio o pratica di yoga. I nostri corsi consentono ai partecipanti di scoprire e apprendere facilmente il metodo del Massaggio Ayurvedico Yoga (AYM).
Gli studenti acquisiranno sicurezza in se stessi imparando le abilità necessarie per integrare il flusso del massaggio con la serie di stretching. Al termine del corso di formazione, i partecipanti avranno la possibilità di effettuare un trattamento di massaggio Ayurvedico completo, e di ricevere un certificato o diploma attestante la loro livello di formazione e conoscenza.

Inspired by the Indian traditions of Ayurveda and modern yoga, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) combines deep tissue massage with oil and assisted yoga-based stretching elements in a single session. Indian master Kusum Modak, influenced by her practice with BKS Iyengar, developed the AYM method in the early 1980s. This contemporary all-in-one yoga bodywork, supported by breathwork, differs significantly from other traditional massage treatments of Ayurveda, drawing from the numerous benefits of asanas and Yoga Therapy.
ARYM’s comprehensive training programme provides a skilful and proven way to learn Ayurvedic Yoga Massage. The classes are practical, with 90% hands-on experience. Learning the techniques involves an immersive massage experience. Students learn massage techniques by participating daily as both the person giving the massage and the one receiving it. During the course, you will learn to:
Provide a 60 to 90-minute AYM treatment following the ARYM protocol tailored to individual needs.
Apply a wide range of massage techniques using your hands and feet, including deep tissue, stress relief, myofascial release, and relaxing massages, and perform an exceptional facial massage experience.
Perform over a hundred yoga-based assisted corrective stretches.
Be ready to start your AYM therapist career immediately upon course completion.
Ananta Sylvain Girard, the founder of ARYM, the original AYM Institute, is a prominent figure in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage with over 30 years of experience. Initially collaborating for 7 years with Kusum Modak, the creator of AYM, Ananta has played a pivotal role in spreading AYM globally.

Inspired by the Indian traditions of Ayurveda and modern yoga, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) combines deep tissue oil massage and assisted yoga-based stretching elements in a single session. Indian master Kusum Modak developed the comprehensive AYM method in the early 1980s, which was strongly influenced by her practice with yoga master BKS Iyengar. This contemporary all-in-one yoga therapy, supported by breathwork, differs significantly from other traditional massage treatments of Ayurveda, drawing from the diverse benefits of yogasana therapy.
ARYM’s comprehensive training programme provides a skilful and proven way to learn Ayurvedic Yoga Massage. The classes are practical, with 90% hands-on experience. Learning the techniques involves an immersive massage experience. Students learn massage techniques by participating daily as both the person giving the massage and the one receiving it. During the course, you will learn to:
Provide a 60 to 90-minute AYM treatment following the ARYM protocol tailored to individual needs.
Apply a wide range of massage techniques using your hands and feet, including deep tissue, stress relief, myofascial release, and relaxing massages, and perform an exceptional facial massage experience.
Perform over a hundred yoga-based assisted corrective stretches.
Be ready to start your AYM therapist career immediately upon course completion.
Ananta Sylvain Girard, the founder of ARYM, the original AYM Institute, is a prominent figure in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) with over 30 years of experience. Initially collaborating for 7 years with Kusum Modak, the creator of AYM, Ananta has played a pivotal role in spreading AYM globally. He has conducted over 350 therapist courses, certifying over 2,500 AYM practitioners. Ananta’s teaching is precise and comprehensive, founded on two pillars: the original Kusum Modak AYM method and the Anatomy for Movement knowledge passed down by his mentor Blandine Calais-Germain. Moreover, he has shared his expertise with an impressive celebrity clientele. Learn more About Ananta
