Since 1996, Ananta has been passionately dedicated to teaching thousands of trainees from all over the world. The institute offers comprehensive programs to gradually evolve the practice of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage.
Our training is suited for everyone, including beginners and professionals of all levels. The method presents a complementary and enriching practice for health professionals (doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, etc.) and wellness specialists (masseurs, yoga teachers, Pilates instructors, etc.), as well as anyone with personal interest to massage family and friends.
No prior experience of massage or yoga is necessary. Our courses allow participants to discover and easily learn the method of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage. Students will gain self-confidence by learning the skills that are necessary to integrate the massage flow with a series of assisted yoga-based stretches. At the end of the training course, newly certified practitioners will have the ability to deliver a complete Ayurvedic Yoga Massage treatment.
