Ojas massage - full body treatment for longevity

When touch, sound and consciousness lead to deep regeneration and longevity

This advanced seminar is aimed at experienced practitioners of bodywork who wish to add a vibrant, energetic and sound-based dimension to their massage practice.

The focus is on refining OJAS massage as a nourishing, conscious practice - based on presence, awareness and active work with energy, breath and voice. Touch is understood here not just as a technique, but as a dynamic process that addresses and understands the body, nervous system and subtle levels in equal measure.

A special focus is placed on the three main nadis:

Ida, Pingala and Sushumna - the central energy channels that determine the balance of rest, activity and inner alignment.

You will learn to perceive these currents in a differentiated way, to accompany them during treatment and to bring them into balance through targeted touch, rhythm and sound. The work is deliberately not silent, but is supported and deepened by mantras, voice and sound spaces.

This sound-based approach enables direct access and focuses on deeper layers of experience, supporting regulation on a physical and energetic level.

Ojas and longevity - regeneration as the key to vitality

In Ayurveda, Ojas is considered to be the finest essence of all physical and mental processes. It manifests itself in vitality, stability, inner peace and the ability to regenerate.

From a modern perspective, Ojas is closely linked to a regulated nervous system. An organism that can switch flexibly between activity and relaxation has the basis for health, resilience and sustainable energy.

The OJAS massage supports precisely this state: the parasympathetic nervous system is activated through rhythmic, nourishing touch, conscious breathing and the use of sound and mantra. The body can switch to a state of repair, integration and deep relaxation.

In this way, Ojas is built up and preserved - as the basis for longevity in the sense of a stable, vibrant and internally connected life.

You will develop a keen sense for energetic dynamics and learn to accompany them in a targeted way through touch, sound and inner alignment.

When touch, sound and awareness work together, a space is created in which regeneration, integration and sustainable vitality can grow.

Only valid for eLearning modules: Dates eWorkshops & instructional videos

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.
