Ayurvedic Massage is one of the oldest therapeutic practices in the world, rooted in the 5,000-year-old healing system of Ayurveda. At Anandmaya Retreat in Rishikesh, we invite you to immerse yourself in a 7-day Ayurvedic Massage Therapy Course designed to awaken your healing touch, balance body and mind, and share wellness with others. This course is a gateway to self-care, professional skill-building, and ancient wisdom passed down through generations of Indian tradition.
Ayurvedic massage, or Abhyanga, is a time-honored healing practice rooted in the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda, which dates back over 5,000 years. More than just a massage, it is a sacred ritual designed to balance the body’s energies (doshas), detoxify the system, and awaken inner vitality. Using warm herbal oils chosen specifically for each individual’s constitution, Ayurvedic massage nourishes the tissues, improves circulation, calms the nervous system, and supports the body’s natural ability to heal. Traditionally practiced by sages and healers in India, Abhyanga continues to offer a deeply therapeutic experience harmonizing the body, mind, and spirit in perfect rhythm.
