Ayurvedic Training

Like the birds and the bees, the grass and the trees, we humans are simply another part of the wonders of nature. Ayurveda is based on the principle of utilizing the laws of nature to promote health and wellbeing.

The fascinating and increasingly popular subject of Ayurveda is steeped in thousands of years of history. Originating in India, prior to eventually spreading around the globe, what we now see increasingly offered in UK salons represents only a very small segment of what is a science stretching back into the depths of time.

To quote from one of the leading Ayurveda centres in India, “……..it is fair to say that Ayurveda is a system that helps maintain health in a person by using the inherent principles of nature to bring the individual back into equilibrium with their true self. In essence, Ayurveda has been in existence since the beginning of time because we have always been governed by nature's laws.” Ayurveda is not so much a treatment or therapy – Ayurveda is a way of life.

Ayurveda - 'The science of life'

Whilst this intriguing science is complex and far reaching, (very much a matter of total lifestyle), many of the ‘hands on’ treatments such as Head Massage, Foot Massage and Facial Massage, can be offered independently with excellent results.

The degree of such results depends greatly on the ability and the mental motivation of the therapist – remember, thousands of years of history and culture are the bases of successful Ayurvedic therapy – the therapists do not simply ‘give the treatment’ – they are part of the treatment. Professional training is therefore a crucial element in the make-up of the therapist and time spent deciding where and with whom you train is invaluable.

For those wanting to maximise on the potential of Ayurveda, The Goan Experience (a British owned and managed company) now offers training courses in the paradise holiday state of Goa. The courses are designed to open your eyes to Ayurveda, give you an insight into the culture and history of the region and, last but not least, combine your training with an incredibly relaxing and surprisingly inexpensive holiday in ‘Paradise’.
