Ayurveda Massage Course in Rishikesh
A 7-day, hands-on Ayurveda massage training at Om Setu Yogashala — ancient techniques, real practice time, and a certificate recognised in the global wellness industry.
Learn Authentic Ayurvedic Massage in Rishikesh
Om Setu Yogashala's Ayurveda Massage Course is a 7-day, intensive training program that combines the theoretical foundations of Ayurveda with real, supervised hands-on practice — not a weekend spa workshop.
You'll study the tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the body's tissue systems, and how to prepare herbal massage oils correctly, before moving into full-body massage, head massage, and targeted treatments for specific areas of the body.
The course is designed for complete beginners as well as practitioners looking to refine their technique, and is taught using unaltered, ancient Ayurvedic methods passed down through certified practitioners — not shortcuts adapted for tourists.
