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’.
