Traditional Ayurvedico
Traditional Ayurvedic massage is a discipline of Indian origin that is based on a holistic vision of man, considered in its physical, mental, spiritual and energetic entirety. According to Ayurvedic philosophy, the massage or Abhyangam, balances the 5 elements present in every living being (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth), returning the constitution of an individual to its original equilibrium, often modified by lifestyle, harmful habits, age and other internal and external factors. Performed with a certain regularity, this treatment helps prevent the onset of diseases, maintain a good state of health, slow down aging and reduce the stress of daily life. By strengthening the body and calming the mind, massage helps restore the conditions that allow a healthy, harmonious and happy life, respecting the needs of the human being and the rules of Nature. Ayurvedic massage is performed through deep maneuvers, alternating with light friction and tapping, and is characterized by the stimulation of the Marma points, energy fulcrums present throughout the body, and the use of medicated oils, enriched by the therapeutic power of medicinal plants. This ancient Indian art still represents one of the most effective techniques for restoring the balance between mind, body and soul, establishing itself as a real elixir of well-being. In addition to having an immediate relaxing and at the same time decontracting effect, Ayurvedic massage brings numerous lasting benefits:
The YogAyur - Natural Wellness Association has been involved in the practice and dissemination of the therapeutic qualities of holistic treatments for years, but not only that: at our centers we organize annual training courses dedicated to learning Traditional Ayurvedic Massage. "Because Ayurveda has been conceived and taught by various sages since ancient times, some scholars argue that Ayurveda has a beginning. In fact that is not so, there is no known period in which Ayurveda did not exist and after which it came to light. Like the heat of fire and the liquidity of water, Ayurveda, or the science of life, is innate and needs no effort on the part of humans to exist." (Caraka Samhita Su. – XXX,27) TRADITIONAL AYURVEDIC MASSAGE COURSE PROGRAM Our Ayurvedic Yoga Massage course is divided into 5 intensive weekends, for a total of 80 hours of both theoretical and practical training, in which all aspects of this wonderful discipline will be explored. At the end of the course the participants will be able to master the discipline, having deepened not only the philosophical aspects, but also scientific knowledge such as anatomy, philosophy of well-being and professional ethics, so as to be able to practice massage techniques with full knowledge of the facts. Thanks to the help of in-depth material and the centrality given to the practice under the supervision of the teacher, students will be able to correctly perform the fundamental sequences and independently conduct the entire ritual according to tradition, having acquired a perfect mastery of the technique and a deep operational sensitivity. Upon completion of the course participants will receive a certificate of attendance and will be officially able to practice Traditional Ayurvedic Massage at a professional level. Furthermore, for exemplary students there is the possibility of an internship at our centers, with the opportunity to immediately put into practice what they have learned.
