ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
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 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 give it 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.
For the most comprehensive and fluid learning experience, it is recommended to complete the full 8-day training in one go.
Ananta Sylvain Girard, the founder of ARYM — the First and Original AYM Institute, has over 3 decades of experience in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM). After initially collaborating for 7 years with Master Kusum Modak, the creator of AYM, Ananta has played a pivotal role in spreading the AYM method worldwide. Over these 30 years, Ananta has conducted more than 400 therapist courses, certifying over 2,700 AYM practitioners. His teaching flows with natural ease, rooted in experience and precision, and grounded in two essential foundations: the original Kusum Modak AYM method and the Anatomy for Movement approach developed by his mentor Blandine Calais-Germain, which brings clarity and depth to his understanding of body mechanics. Ananta has also had the privilege of offering his expertise to an impressive clientele of celebrities. Learn more About Ananta
