Ayurvedic Massage (Abhyanga), Shirodhara and Svedana Training
This class is best suited for those with some knowledge of Ayurveda and hands-on body-work or energy-work.
This program provides 10-12 hours of hands-on training in Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Massage) along with Shirodhara (warm oil treatment over the forehead) and Svedana (Ayurvedic herbal steam therapy). Participants will work in pairs giving and receiving therapies.
An Ayurvedic Massage and Bliss Therapist is a specialist who works with massage and other therapies which are individualized to the nature of the person and nature of any imbalances that are present. Ayurvedic Body Therapies are a significant part of the healing process in Ayurvedic medicine and are becoming popular in clinics and health spas around the world.
Abhyanga:
Abhyanga is a classic Ayurvedic full-body treatment done with herbalized oil. It is soothing, nurturing, and one of the best techniques for balancing prana (life force), a main goal of Ayurveda. This nurturing treatment creates deep relaxation in body and mind. Abhyanga therapy uses a good amount of oil so please wear clothes you don’t mind getting oily after your treatment. With Rishi, come learn this rewarding technique, including the fundamentals of Ayurvedic theory, ethics training through the lens of yoga and Ayurveda, and how to establish a calm and healing environment.

* Produces softness, strength and color to the body
* Decreases the effects of aging
* Nourishes the body

Shirodhara:
Shirodhara (shiro-dar-a) is a unique, blissful therapy that balances and stabilizes the mind. To receive shirodhara, the client lies down upon a massage table with their eyes covered. Next, specially prepared warm herbal oil is poured in a thin steady stream directly onto the forehead and sixth chakra. Shirodhara purifies the mind, alleviates anxiety, reduces headaches, expands awareness and Vata imbalances: hypertension, insomnia, depression, anxiety, headaches, and restlessness. It can also have a powerful spiritual effect on the mental and emotional well-being of the individual. Shirodhara can be administered on its own or as part of a bliss therapy trio detoxification regime.

Svedana - Herbal Steam Detox:
Also known as Swedana, this add-on treatment uses steam to relax the body, reduce tension, and opens the pores and channels of circulation. Performed following abhyanga or any massage and/or Shirodhara, Svedana promotes penetration of the herbal oil deep into the bodily tissues. Loosened impurities are eliminated through the sweat glands and gastrointestinal tract, thus purifying tissues and eliminating accumulated toxins from the body.
