World Peace Wellness, in the serene spiritual town of Rishikesh, offers professional massage courses that nurture body and mind. Whether you are new to massage therapy or an experienced practitioner refining your skills, the course is tailored to you — traditional training in the peaceful, healing atmosphere of India’s spiritual capital.

Traditional Ayurveda massage is an ancient therapy in which the whole body is massaged with herbal medicinal oils, using specific techniques to detoxify and open the energy centres. Deeply relaxing, it also nourishes the skin, bones, and tissues, and balances the doshas for a tranquil body and mind.

Popular with therapists and yoga teachers, the course runs two sessions a day. In theory you learn the principles of Ayurveda, its history, herbs, and lifestyle — the confidence to treat others holistically. In practice you learn how to massage, along with its benefits and techniques.

Authentic Himalayan tradition, not a watered down tourist course. The anatomy classes alone were worth the trip.

As an Indian student I was looking for real parampara and found it here. Mantra chanting every morning set the tone for the day.
