Beyond the Massage Table: A Quivas Method™ Workshop for Allied Health Professionals

None

Hook

1-Day Live, In-Person Training | Colorado Springs, CO

In Development

~$250 | No CEUs

Beyond the Massage Table introduces Quivas Method™ marma point integration to allied health professionals — physical therapists, nurse practitioners, physicians, yoga teachers, Ayurvedic Health Counselors, and acupuncturists — who want to bring targeted pain-relief techniques into their existing scope of practice without a massage table, oils, or draping. This 2-hour hands-on workshop covers marma point location, palpation, and sequencing for common pain presentations, drawing on the ancillary and subtle-body tools introduced in *Ayurvedic Massage: Abhyanga for Chronic Pain and Other Conditions* — clinically relevant, low-equipment techniques you can integrate immediately.

Abhyanga — Level 1

Requires: Foundations or Equivalent as approved by instructor

Hook

2-Day Live, Hands-on Training | Colorado Springs, CO

Cohort Forming — Join the Waitlist

$425 | 14 CEUs

Abhyanga Level 1 is a two-day, hands-on intensive that builds directly on the prerequisite "Ayurvedic Foundations for Modern Massage Therapists." This course focuses on full-sequence skill development, embodied practice, and svedana safety for a 90-minute, single-therapist session. A brief review of foundational concepts is included for continuity, but no redundant theory blocks are taught. Here, you learn a provisional basic sequence to satisfy all three doshas. Abhyanga is a full-body detox and rejuvenation massage using warmed herbal oils specific to the client's constitution or imbalances. It is the hallmark of Ayurvedic massage. Svedana is a form of heat/fomentation therapy done to conclude an abhyanga for an added detoxifying effect and deeper penetration of botanical formulas through the skin. Discover different types of svedana used in classical Ayurveda treatments along with the benefits and contraindications. A steam sauna outfitted for a massage table is taught.`

Cohort Forming — Join the Waitlist

$475 | 6 CEUs

Basti is a localized Ayurvedic oil-pooling technique used to address chronic inflammation, joint pain, and deep tissue restrictions. This training covers five distinct basti applications, each suited to different anatomical regions and clinical presentations, along with proper setup, containment methods, and safety considerations for each. Foundations in Ayurvedic theory and appropriate modifications informed by anatomy and physiology will be covered, along with guidance on integrating basti into an existing bodywork practice.`

Ayurveda Foundations for Massage Therapists

Prerequisite: None — Start Here

Hook

On-Demand, Pre-recorded Webinar | Online

Available Now

$90 | No CEUs

Many massage therapists learn Ayurvedic technique without ever learning why it works — a common gap, especially for training received in spa settings. This course closes that gap: a clinically-grounded introduction to Ayurveda through anatomy, physiology, and clinical reasoning, so you can integrate it into your existing practice without diluting your scope or the tradition itself. You'll learn the physiological meaning of the doshas beyond personality typing, how imbalance shows up in tissue and pain patterns, and how to think Ayurvedically within a modern massage session — the required clinical foundation for Abhyanga Levels 1 & 2 (equivalent Ayurveda training from a 200hr yoga teacher training does not satisfy this prerequisite).

Shirodhara is a classic rejuvenation treatment for the mind that synchronizes brain waves by pouring a warmed, medicated substance over the third eye, where it flows off the crown of the head.
