Ayurveda Massage Course India experience ayurveda

You will learn to apply Ayurveda in your life

A “hands-on experience” approach to teaching Ayurveda is unique to AITHEIN SCHOOL

1. You will experience Ayurveda on yourself

Ayurveda at Aithein is taught in a way where you first use it and apply it in your own life and when you actually have the real experience, you apply on others.

2. You will experience ways to understand your emotions better

According to Ayurveda, physical body and emotional body are inseparable. Fully feeling and integrating our emotions into a state of natural harmony greatly benefits physical health, and like-wise it harmonises the emotions. Therefore, in this course you will practically experience ways to deal with unresolved emotional issues for a better health.

3. You will experience the flow of knowledge from teacher to student

Traditionally, Ayurveda has been taught as a transmission of experiential knowledge. Gagori has experienced on herself what she actually shares. This is the reason she imparts real knowledge rather than just theoretical book knowledge. She fosters an open communication and dialogues between teacher and students which in the past in India was called GURU-SHISHYA PARAMPARA(teacher-student tradition); the flow of knowledge from one generation to the next, which she is still continues to learn from her teacher Choyin Dorje.
