Ayurvedic Body Therapies Professional Training

Shirodhara training

An ancient art form with a transformational impact

From deep relaxation to resetting your client’s full nervous system —
Ayurvedic body work are luxurious, gentle and potent ways of healing the body, mind and spirit.

  • Abhyanga is anointing the full body with warm oil, infused with healing herbs and balancing essential oils.

    In Ayurveda, the healing aspects of Abhyanga include relaxation of the muscles and calming of the nervous system. The attention being paid to the many subtle healing aspects of this practice make it a powerful holistic healing modality.

    The act of anointing the body with warm, herbal oil is called snehana -- the Sanskrit word sneha means oil and love. The benefits of regular snehana invite the same qualities as being deeply loved, loving yourself and loving another -- strength, stability, openness and warmth.

    As stated by the ancient Ayurvedic text — Astanga Hridaya — other benefits of Abhyanga include:

    • Improved Sleep

    • Promotes sturdiness of the body

    • Promotes longevity

    • Nourishes the body

    • Promotes better eyesight

    • Prevents and corrects affliction of the nervous system

    • Overcomes fatigue

    • Prevents and corrects the aging process

    • Detoxification of the body

    Abhy is Sanskrit for massage — Yanga is Sanskrit for limbs

  • This Ayurvedic treatment is the ultimate for deep relaxation and a full nervous system reset.

    A stream of herb infused oil is poured across the third eye while healing mantras are offered to the healing space. The combination of these modalities allows for deep peace to be evoked and transmitted.

    Benefits of Shirodhara include:

    • Deep release of stress and tension from the mind

    • Stillness of the mind

    • Better brain function

    • Mood stability

    • Increased stress-handling ability

    Shiro is Sanskrit for head — Dhara is Sanskrit for pour

  • Marma is a potent, yet gentle art form that balances our innate life force energy, prana, by applying light touch, mantra and specific oils to certain energetic points on the body.

Ayurvedic Body Therapy Trainings

These courses are meant for body workers, massage therapists, doulas, estheticians, midwives, energy workers and anyone wanting to offer an experience of pure luxury and bliss in the form of warm oil therapies.

“During each Ayurvedic warm oil therapy that the guest is taken into a deep, meditative state of silence, the basal metabolic state is lowered, and with each successive treatment, it is lowered even more.  If the body were a lake, it would become totally calm and crystal clear.  In this state the body experiences itself more profoundly as a unified field of consciousness rather than thousands of physical parts. “ Dr John Doulliard

“I have been a student & a teacher of Holistic practices for over 30 years…”

  • The roots of my practice began in NYC as an esthetician, reiki practitioner, yoga & meditation guide. My first teacher, introduced me to Ayurveda in the early 90's.

    Throughout my life I sought after Ayurvedic Body treatments, including Shirodhara & Abyhanga as a profound healing modality for nervous system regulation, during many traumatizing chapters of my life. When I relocated to Colorado during a global pandemic, I found Radha Schwaller. I was recovering from a very serious medical condition. I received 2 treatments in a short period of time & felt every system in my body harmonize while Radha carefully poured warm therapeutic oils onto my third eye.

    Her grounding presence made me feel held, seen & deeply supported.

    As my recovery journey progressed, It became clear that Ayurveda was not only imperative for my healing, but I needed to learn how to do this for others.

    Without hesitation, I enrolled in Radha's Ayurvedic Body Treatment training in Denver. It was the most amazing experience of my life! I enjoyed the practical , in person experience, just as much as the virtual Modules.

    Radha is a very knowledgeable & highly spirited teacher.

    I highly recommend this training to deepen your understanding of Ayurveda for yourself, your family, & your community.
