The Abhyanga massage is the most popular massage originating in Ayurveda, an ancient healing system from India that is also referred to as a life science. In the Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage, the aim is to harmonize the body, mind and spirit, by stimulating the body´s energy points and centers. In the Abhyanga massage the oil plays a key role as it is believed to bring balance as well as nourish the skin when applied through the massage strokes. This online course provides you with the skills to apply the entire Abhyanga massage, together with an understanding of the underlying Ayrvedic concepts about energy, balanced constitution, diet, lifestyle, etc. Scroll down to read our student testimonials.
