ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Inspired by the Indian traditions of Ayurveda and Modern Postural Yoga, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) combines deep tissue massage with oil and assisted yoga-based stretching in a single session. Developed by Indian master Kusum Modak in the early 1980s and influenced by her practice with BKS Iyengar, AYM is a contemporary all-in-one yoga bodywork supported by breathwork. It differs significantly from traditional Ayurvedic massage treatments by integrating the principles of yoga therapy — also known as yogasana therapy.

ARYM’s training programme provides a proven approach to mastering Ayurvedic Yoga Massage, with classes comprising 90% hands-on experience. Participants practice daily on each other, both giving and receiving massages. The training provides powerful massage and stretching techniques focusing on energy flow, conscious breathing, touch awareness, meditative approach, and body mechanics, to ensure a comfortable and pleasant experience. By the end of the course, participants can deliver confidently great treatments customised to individual needs.
During the course, you will learn to:
Provide a 60 to 90-minute AYM treatment.
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 or offer treatments to your loved ones.
The first part (4 days) focuses more on the entire body massage, learning deep tissue massage techniques using hands and feet. It also provides a first series of assisted stretching and enables the performance of a short Ayurvedic yoga massage sequence to massage, mobilise, and stretch the full body.
The second part* (4 days) focuses on integrating the massage and a large series of assisted stretches, acquiring a flow while gaining confidence.
*It is highly advisable to complete both sections over 9 consecutive days, though Section 2 can also be taken during a later training session.
