If you want to open a massage centre or become a massage therapist, this course is for you. The 10-day Ayurveda and Massage Therapist Course in Rishikesh covers advanced massage methods, body structure, ancient acupressure, essential oils, and aromatic herbs. Ayurvedic massage unites body, mind, and spirit for balance and harmony.
Training begins with an introduction to Ayurveda, the doshas, anatomy, and basic relaxation techniques, then moves through theory and hands-on practice of massage and other therapeutic Ayurvedic techniques — ideal for wellness and holistic-care professionals.
Massage has been used for healing and prevention for over 5,000 years and is central to Ayurveda, the oldest medical system. Our course emphasises Abhyanga (full-body oil massage), part of the healthy daily routine (dinacharya), which clears toxins, stress, and anxiety in the most natural way.
At World Peace Wellness you learn traditional Ayurvedic therapies — Abhyangam, Udwarthanam, Shirodhara, and more — from specialists who teach daily and guide you well beyond the course.
You also learn herbal powder massage, dry massage, Swedana therapy, Netra Tarpana, and Pizhichil, with medicated herbal oils at the heart of the practice. Combining Ayurveda and yoga helps you understand both traditions holistically.
In theory sessions you study the fundamentals and history of Ayurveda, the body types (Tridosha), the seven tissues, and the main plants and herbal oils. Practical sessions cover Ayurvedic oils, Marma (acupressure) points, Abhyanga, and other core massage practices through demonstrations and hands-on work.
India is the ideal place to learn and practise Ayurveda and experience its Vedic roots. At World Peace Wellness, you don’t just read about Ayurveda — you live it, in the tranquil Vedic heritage of Rishikesh.
Ayurvedic massage is one of the oldest and most refined healing arts, focused on personal growth and self-fulfilment. You will learn simultaneous strokes on the front and back of the body that follow the five movements of the doshas. Study materials are provided on arrival, and meditation and other inward practices help you stay calm and balanced throughout.
We explain the oils, points, and process of Ayurvedic massage along with its vital principles. Over ten days you become skilled at healing not only yourself but those around you, with a deeper understanding of Ayurveda’s background and how to apply it.
Practical workshops take you from head to toe through the most widely used Ayurvedic massages — treatments that support the mental health of the client as well as the physical body, for a complete healing experience.
This 12-day course gives you the foundational knowledge and skills to work professionally with clients, through both theory and practice. The curriculum is flexible, and the focus of some days may be adjusted to the group’s prior experience.
