This is a great program for those who really want to learn and practice an authentic Ayurvedic bodywork. I was hesitant for a while because I thought that taking an online bodywork course was not going to give me the knowledge and experience I was looking for...well, the instructor proved me wrong:)). This is the best online- hands on course I have taken and I am looking forward to taking more courses offered by the ChayaVeda Integrative Healing Arts Center.

I recently completed the full Ayurvedic massage and bodywork program with Chaya. It was a great experience to learn and apply not only different type of massages but also understand why and who would benefit from what type of massage, according to dosha and imbalances.
The program was very comprehensive and Chaya is always ready to take the time to answer questions. If you are looking for a traditional way to learn Ayurvedic massages , I strongly recommend studying with Chaya.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Chaya was absolutely amazing. She asked me all kinds of questions to make sure that I was getting the best treatment for what my issue was. The massage was so great that in one session my issue with my back was almost gone. She is great at what she does and very knowledgeable . I left her place completely relaxed. Thank you Chaya and I am definitely coming back.

Being a full-time Intern at ChayaVeda was an unforgettable experience. Coming into the internship, I had very little knowledge about Ayurveda. As I reminisce about this past year, I am leaving with an understanding of a beautiful system of medicine that I now incorporate into my day to day life. Chaya challenged me in ways that helped me grow professionally, creatively, and personally. For example, I had to use my creativity for many of the projects and had to quickly give ideas and feedback about implementing these within the business. I cannot thank ChayaVeda enough for allowing this opportunity

I am a brand new person, this course has been more then I could ever imagine. Truly life changing. Chaya made everything interesting and easy to understand.
She is an excellent teacher. I took her yoga teacher training class and now I am taking all the massage classes she is offering this year. She is just that good.

ChayaVeda Integrative Healing Arts gave me an experience like no other. With a mentor as dedicated to her business as Chaya, it is easy to learn so much from her passion and expertise. I came away from the internship program with amazing experience through working with a wonderful business. I also got to first-hand experience one of her massages, and I can easily say it was the best massage experience I have had. I would recommend anyone to Chaya for any of her services and to also join her internship program.

Chaya was a real lifeline for me when I attended her yoga class. I had attended classes with several other instructors over the years, but something really clicked for me with Chaya's instruction. It is because of Chaya that I am still involved with yoga and will be always. Whatever services Chaya may perform for you, it will be with caring and dedication to your best interest from a true professional and just plain wonderful person!
