Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Study the basic elements of Ayurveda, including the three constitutions in the body. The three constitutions, or doshas, are: vata (meaning air), pitta (meaning fire), and kapha (meaning both water and earth).

2. Find out the pressure points in the body. Throughout the body, pressure points can be stimulated by Ayurvedic massage. If you know how to stimulate the pressure points, then you're able to give an Ayurvedic massage.

3. Learn about the health benefits. Another principle behind Ayurvedic massage is the ability to boost your immune system. During the massage, toxins are released into your body and then flushed out.

4. Focus on the areas that relieve certain pain and ailments. When you work with a client, you should discuss any pain or ailments they have. Once you know their complaints, you can use this information to provide an Ayurvedic massage that relieves the aggravated dosha.

5. Prepare massage oils. Once you determine the dosha that needs the most attention, decide on the correct oils to use. For instance, a person with a weak vata should receive a massage with sesame oil.
