The modular training structure enables a flexible training schedule, tailored to the life situation and time possibilities of the participant. We are happy to advise you!
Module 1 "Nutrition and health trainer"
In Ayurveda, a balanced, constitutionally appropriate diet is an essential component in balancing the physical and mental constitution. You will learn how to use the effects of spices and foods according to type and how to guide your clients according to the principles of Ayurvedic lifestyle. You will also gain valuable inspiration for your own lifestyle, diet and cooking.
The nutrition and health trainer module can also be booked separately:
To the Ayurveda nutrition and health trainer course
Module 2 "Ayurveda massage and wellbeing practice"
In this module, you will develop the ability to perform traditional massage and oil applications with your hands and heart. A variety of demonstrations and practical exercises with corrections will show you how to apply Ayurvedic massage techniques precisely, sensitively and according to type. You will also acquire in-depth knowledge of the philosophy, medicine and constitutional teachings of Ayurveda, which will give you a holistic understanding of the applications.
The massage module can also be booked in a modified form for newcomers with no previous knowledge of Ayurveda. The training then corresponds to the Birstein model. Please note that attending the massage module alone does not entitle you to practise a trade in Austria. In this case, you can only use your Ayurvedic massage skills privately, unless you are authorized to practice massage as a member of a health profession.
Module 3 "Mental coaching, practice and success strategies"
This module supplements the Ayurveda skills you have already acquired with knowledge of Ayurvedic psychology and diagnosis. You will also be given strategies for successful practice management.
People without previous medical knowledge also take part in an external e-learning course. In addition to the 40 hours already integrated in the modules, this course teaches you a further 100 hours of conventional medical basics, together = 140 hours.
The online course is offered in cooperation with our partner EPWA and is booked and paid for directly there.

Rosenberg gGmbH - European Academy for Ayurveda | DE - 63633 Birstein (The seminars take place in Vienna and Klosterneuburg.)
The examination comprises a practical case documentation, a written examination and a supervised project presentation.
The training modules take place at different seminar locations in Vienna or Klosterneuburg, depending on the content. What they all have in common is that they enable modern learning in a pleasant atmosphere - so that your training is even more fun.
The European Academy for Ayurveda in Austria is registered in the Ö-Cert Register. This means that it is a quality provider in adult education recognized by the Ministry of Education. The training to become an Ayurveda wellness practitioner is therefore generally eligible for funding throughout Austria.
As part of an eLearning module, you will have the opportunity to put the knowledge you have learned into practice. We have developed the eWorkshop concept for this purpose. Together with your fellow students and your lecturer, you will discuss a specific topic in this live event, do practical exercises or group work on it, and thus gain a deeper insight into the practical application of your Ayurveda knowledge.
In addition to the Interdisciplinary Question Forum (Q & A session), this is your opportunity to exchange ideas with your lecturer and fellow students.
Please note: You only need to attend one session. You will find an indication of when it makes sense to register for the eWorkshop in your eLearning. The eWorkshop is a compulsory part of the module and is required for your course completion. The dates for the coming year are published in the fall of the previous year.
Some of the eLearning modules may contain video content in English with German subtitles.
Do you want it to be as simple as possible? Then let us suggest what a complete training plan could look like. Choose one of the following sample plans that suits you best. Of course, you can change each individual date afterwards to suit you best.
None of our ready-made sample plans appeal to you? Then you can also put together your own individual plan below.
In a study consultation, we can briefly clarify when it is best for you to start, which form of learning is best for you and whether we can perhaps take into account your existing prior knowledge. Together we will find the right training program for you . Book your individual training consultation by phone +49 (0)6054-91 310 or simply online.
