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.

How many courses do I need, and how long does it take, to become a professional?
Your first 56-hour therapist training (Levels 1–4) gives you the essential foundation to start practising Ayurvedic Yoga Massage professionally, and many AYM practitioners begin earning from this work shortly after. Around 5 to 20 post-training sessions are typically needed before you begin feeling confident practising on your own. Most practitioners continue with Level 5 to refine their technique, validate their skills, and improve fluidity. From there, occasional refresher courses with Ananta work well to maintain the purity, precision, and depth of the work. Some choose to repeat the 56-hour course to deepen their understanding, or to enter the instructor programme. As a general guide, around 200+ hours of training gives a strong level of AYM expertise. Full mastery, though, is a longer journey built through ongoing practice, continued learning, and real commitment. Honestly, a lifelong one.
Can I join only part of the 9-day Ayurvedic Yoga Massage training in Ubud, Bali?
Yes, see ‘Shorter Options‘ above for available 4-day single-section and drop-in formats.
Is certification included?
Yes. Your first participation leads to the Certified AYM Therapist Diploma (Levels 1–4). A second participation upgrades you to Level 5. From a third participation onward, attendance can count toward Level 7 (Instructor Diploma), part of ARYM’s separate teaching programme. See “ARYM Course Certifications” below for full details.
Do I need previous experience to join this Ayurvedic Yoga Massage training in Ubud, Bali?
No previous experience is required to join this Ayurvedic Yoga Massage training in Ubud. The course is designed to guide participants step by step, while also offering valuable refinement for massage therapists, yoga teachers, bodyworkers, and other experienced practitioners.
Who is this training suitable for?
This training is open to both beginners and experienced practitioners. It is suitable for anyone wishing to learn Ayurvedic Yoga Massage, whether for personal enrichment, professional development, or as a step toward a new career in bodywork.
