Belovarac,
Director
of Body Therapies
The
California College of Ayurveda is very excited to provide the
Massage and Spa profession with outstanding training in all
of the popular Ayurvedic body therapies. Upon graduation from
our summer intensive, our graduates will be well prepared to
work in conjunction with any spa or massage center.
It
is important that these therapies are properly practiced in
accordance with the principles of this ancient tradition. More
than a basic massage, when properly applied, these practices
are able to transform consciousness. Graduates of our ABT program
will be highly skilled in these healing modalities and confident
in their application. In short, they will be on the cutting
edge of their profession.
Quality
education is the foundation of preparation. The California College
of Ayurveda is a World Leader in Ayurvedic Education. Our founder,
Dr. Marc Halpern, is a Western pioneer of Ayurvedic Medicine.
He is also a founding director of the National Ayurvedic Medical
Association and the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine.
Dr. Halpern is a strong advocate of professional training and
of high standards of education. It is this commitment that drives
the quality of our programs.
We
invite you to join us and become a certified Ayurvedic Body
TherapistTM. Join students from around the country at our training
center in beautiful Grass
Valley , California
and study with us while
nestled in the pine trees of the Sierra
Mountains
.
Many
Blessings,
