What you get

Why train with us?

The things that matter, short enough to read on a phone.

  • Two separate courses. You pay only for the one you are actually going to do.
  • A treatment runs an hour to an hour and a half and sits among the best paid items on a massage price list.
  • No device needed. A couch, warm oil and a warmer are enough.
  • It sets you apart from salons offering a standard massage. Clients are looking for an experience, not just a loosened back.
  • Marma points and the pace are filmed in close up. Rhythm is exactly what most therapists underestimate.
  • In person there are at most three people and we agree the date individually in Prague, weekends included.

The face massage course

Marma points in the face, on the neck and on the head, where they sit and in what order you work them.

Working with warm oil on the face, meaning how much to use and how to take it off at the end.

The complete sequence from the décolletage upwards, including the eye area.

Contraindications and oil allergies, which you need to find out during the consultation.

The face massage course

The full body oil massage course

Heating the oil and getting the amount right, so the client does not get cold and the oil does not end up all over the couch.

Rhythm and working with both hands in time, which is what separates ayurveda from a standard massage.

The complete sequence for the whole body, including the order of the areas and how you position the client.

Setting up the room and the towels, and how to close the treatment properly.

The full body oil massage course

Where it fits on your price list

As a premium ninety minute treatment that nobody nearby is offering.

The face massage pairs with a facial, so one visit becomes a package.

As a gift voucher. Ayurveda sells at Christmas and for birthdays better than almost anything else.

Common questions

What people ask us most

Which ayurvedic massage courses do you run?

Two separate ones. Ayurvedic face massage from 163,70 EUR and ayurvedic full body oil massage from 204,70 EUR. Each has its own course notes and its own certificate, so you can buy only the one you actually want to offer.

What makes ayurvedic massage different?

You work with warm oil, with rhythm and with marma points, the places where tension gathers according to ayurveda. The pace is slower and the whole treatment is built as a ritual rather than a performance. Clients are happy to pay more for that.

What are marma points?

Vital points on the body and in the face, worked with pressure and a circular movement. They are not random spots, they have their own positions and their own order. The course shows them in close up.

Do I need special oils?

You use warm vegetable oil, most often sesame or coconut, depending on the client. It is not about expensive equipment, it is about heating the oil properly and getting the amount right. The course covers that.

How long does one treatment take?

The face massage runs around sixty minutes, the full body massage sixty to ninety. Both belong at the higher end of a massage price list, because the whole thing is a ritual and the client will not lie still that long anywhere else.

What is the difference between the online and the in person course?

The content is the same. The online version is video with course notes and a certificate, and you can come back to it as often as you need. The in person course takes place in our salon in Prague 4 in a group of at most three people, and the trainer corrects your rhythm and your pressure on the spot.

What language is the in person training in?

We teach in English, Russian and Ukrainian ourselves. For other languages we arrange an interpreter if you tell us in advance. Details of how a trip to Prague works are on our page about individual training in Prague.

Do I need previous massage experience?

You do not, though it helps. If you already massage, the biggest change will be the pace. Ayurvedic massage is slower than most therapists are used to, and that is where the whole effect comes from.

When should the massage not be done?

With a fever, acute inflammation, a fresh injury, thrombosis, in the first trimester of pregnancy, with an oncological condition without a doctor approving it, and with an allergy to the oil being used. Contraindications are a chapter of their own in both courses.

Do you offer anything after the course?

Yes. We list your business free of charge on our partner map of more than 500 salons in Czechia, which sends enquiries your way. On top of that a booking and till system worth 500 CZK a month free, and access to our wholesale price list.

When do the in person courses run?

We do not publish fixed dates. After your order Monika will contact you and you agree a day that suits you, weekends included. We ask for payment before the course takes place, and if something comes up we move your date once free of charge.
