The Ancient Art of Ayurvedic Massage with Celia Roberts BSc

Ayurvedic Massage combines ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with holistic health practices, offering a profound approach to balancing the mind, body, energy, and consciousness (Atman). This comprehensive training explores authentic Ayurvedic massage techniques, Marma point therapy, dosha-based treatments, and energetic bodywork designed to support wellbeing, vitality, and harmony.

Ayurvedic Massage is founded on the ancient understanding of the connection between the physical body, subtle energy systems, emotions, and consciousness. This traditional full-body healing practice supports wellbeing on multiple levels, including physical health, emotional balance, energetic flow, and spiritual awareness.

Traditional Ayurvedic Massage Techniques

Traditional Ayurvedic Massage focuses on Marma points — vital energy points within the body that are recognised in Ayurvedic tradition as influencing physical function, energetic balance, and overall wellbeing.

This Ayurvedic Massage course covers:

• Classical Ayurvedic massage strokes and techniques
• The relationship between massage and the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha
• Individual constitutional assessment and treatment approaches
• Ayurvedic herbal oils suited to different constitutions and conditions
• Techniques supporting relaxation, tension release, and energetic balance
• Nourishment of the tissues and the whole system at a deeper level

With Ayurveda’s emphasis on prevention rather than cure, Ayurvedic Massage supports the cultivation of health, longevity, vitality, and balance.

Marma Therapy and Healing Touch

This training explores the therapeutic qualities of conscious touch through Marma Therapy, working with subtle energy points described in Ayurvedic tradition as connections between the body, mind, and consciousness.

The course includes the principles of neuroaffective touch, compassionate therapeutic contact, and traditional energetic healing practices. These approaches support a deeper therapeutic relationship between practitioner and client.

Traditional concepts of Shaktipat are explored, recognising the role of awakened prana (life force energy) in supporting energetic transformation and healing.

Ayurvedic Energetic Anatomy, Nadis, Chakras and Kundalini Bodywork

Ayurvedic Massage encompasses a deeper understanding of the subtle energetic systems that influence health and wellbeing.

Key areas include:

• Ayurvedic energetic anatomy
• Nadis (energy pathways)
• Chakras and subtle energy centres
• Kundalini energy
• Emotional release bodywork
• Pranic healing principles
• The relationship between Yoga and Ayurveda

This integrated approach connects physical bodywork with emotional, energetic, and spiritual awareness.

Ayurvedic Assessment and Treatment Principles

A central element of Ayurvedic Massage is understanding each client’s unique constitution and current state of balance.

Course content includes:

• Individual dosha patterns (Prakriti)
• Current imbalances (Vikriti)
• Constitutional assessment
• Observation of physical and emotional states
• Massage techniques suited to individual needs
• Selection of Ayurvedic oils according to constitution and condition

Knowledge of classical Ayurvedic massage strokes enables practitioners to personalise treatments and support the release of stress, muscular tension, fatigue, and energetic blockages.

Yoga and Ayurveda Integration

The sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda form an ancient model of health, healing, and self-awareness. Their integration provides a holistic framework for yoga teachers, therapists, and wellness practitioners.

This approach connects traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with contemporary allied health practices, supporting mindful, compassionate, and transformative therapeutic work.

As the ancient Ayurvedic teaching states:

“Massage is medicine.”
