What we teach

The courses

Certificate courses, taught in English in small groups. Pick one here, then find a month for it below.

Ayurveda and bodywork

The Kerala tradition, taught hands-on. Theory in the morning, a table in the afternoon, every day.

Healing, sound and movement

Where the work is as much about what you notice as about what your hands are doing.

Learn from home

Taught online and self-paced, so there is no season to wait for and nowhere to fly. You keep access, and there is a live question session on the 28th of every month if you want to ask something directly.

  • Indian Head Massage

    Shiroabhyanga — head, neck and shoulders, taught online and at your own pace, with a live question session on the 28th of every month.

Which one, though

People agonise over this and then discover the choice mattered less than they thought. Whichever course you pick, the shape is the same — something explained, then your hands on a body — and the thing that changes is mostly you.

If you tell us roughly what drew you here, we will tell you honestly which one fits — including when the answer is a different course, or a different year.

Not scheduled this season

These are not running between October and April. Their pages stay up and the courses still exist — dates are set by the school, so tell us which one interests you and we will say when it next runs.

What a course costs

Fees differ by course and by length, and we quote them when you write to us — partly because what you need is often not the course you first asked about. The one published price is the online Indian Head Massage course, which is $99.

The fee covers

  • The course manual
  • Oils used throughout the course
  • Massage tables and sheets
  • Your certificate on completion

It does not cover

  • Flights and travel insurance
  • Airport transfer
  • Accommodation and food

Agonda is a beach village and rooms run from simple guesthouses to sea-facing huts, so students book their own — see where you stay.

How to book a place

  1. Step 1

    Send the application form. You will hear back within 48 hours — if you do not, the mail went astray, so please write to us directly.

  2. Step 2

    If there is a place for you on that course, a deposit confirms it. Your seat is held from the moment the deposit arrives, not from the moment you apply.

  3. Step 3

    The balance is due when you arrive at the school, or by transfer at least 15 days before the course begins.

Start the applicationAsk a question first

Deposits are non-refundable, and the balance becomes payable once a course has begun. The full terms are set out on each course page.

Before you pick a month

Most people choose a date around their work and their flights, which is sensible, and then find the course asked something of them they had not booked time for. Three weeks of being looked at closely, corrected, and put back on the table is not a holiday.

So it is worth asking quietly what you are hoping will be different afterwards. If the honest answer is "I want a break", say so — that is a retreat, not a certification, and we would rather send you to the right one.

Hold a place for a date

Tell us which month you are looking at and what drew you to the course. We write back within two working days.
