Our Courses in Ayurvedic Massage

Today we often talk about "ayurvedic massage." Then you’ll probably think of oil sooner than later, or of someone who is lying on a beautiful wooden massage table, in an exotic spa environment, or of a spa trip to India. But Ayurveda actually has much more to offer when it comes to massage and everything related to it. And what Ayurveda has to offer there, however, can rather be classified as a scientific approach. This scientific approach is based on the 5 elements used in all scientific branches of the Vedic tradition and also can be found in the Western scientific tradition. Even the most modern frontline science - that of quantum physics, field theory, and consciousness research - have a rather straightforward connection with this science based on the 5 elements. A smaal example to enlighten you on this introduction: one of the 5 elements is Air and according to Ayurveda this element has its seat in the skin. Every interaction with, or treatment of the skin therefore implies an influence on the element of air. Proper management of the air element according to Ayurveda has a profound effect on body and mind. It is from these kinds of - really Ayurvedic - points of view, that we in our massage modules like to work with our students. This is what really makes for the “ayurvedic” in ‘ayurvedic massage’!!! Come and study with us, and explore real Ayurveda.

Kerala - India: Ayurveda, Yoga and Sanskrit Retreat

January 4 - 11, 2013 Ayurveda, Yoga & Sanskrit Retreat

For anyone who wants to deepen or refresh their general Ayurveda knowledge, yoga practice, and Sanskrit connection, we have organized a very attractive – and partly leisure – program in the nearby Kumarakom Heritage resort, where Dr. Vijith and Dr. Vidya offer Shamana treatments as an addition or alternative to the Pancha Karma treatments in their Sree Krishna clinic.

An important tool to support you to digest things well – on all levels – is the Vedic fire ritual or Homa/Agnihotra, which Dr. Vijith does every morning on the premises of his clinic. Since you as participants will be accomodated in a hotel nearby, it is not possible to join this fire ritual every morning. Instead we will plan in one or two days each week on which we will all go and join that ceremony in the morning in the Sree Krishna clinic – the ceremony lasts approximately 30-40 minutes. On the other days there might be a small and much shorter Homa/Agnihotra as part of the morning yoga routine, with time for meditation.

The Vedic fire ritual goes back to a very old tradition of paying respect to i.a. the Sun, the Fire as well as the other divine elements in nature. As such it touches the very core of the ayurvedic healing practice, as this is also a science of Agni in many respects and on many levels. We therefore highly recommend to take part in these rituals, as they are an integrated part of the study program. The fire rituals also help in meditation and in keeping your focus, which – again – can be very helpful, given the study intensity of this retreat! Feel welcome to join the fire and pay your respect to it!
