At the Treatmenthouse Vaidya Vijay teaches international students his unique Foot Therapy.

The basic course lasts 32 days (7 days/week). As the training is mostly practical the duration of the classes depends on the students' condition. The course requires a minimum of 2 students and can accommodate a maximum of 4 students. Students train by working on each other.

Training fees

  • 60 EUR per day/student (without accommodation)
  • 20 EUR per day/student for double room accommodation (incl. food) at the Treatmenthouse

Training dates

The next course is scheduled for the end of February 2011.

Training goals

Training goals of the basic massage course are to:

  • improve physical balance and develop sensitivity in the feet
  • train in the complex movements involved in the massage, using the bench and the rope
  • internalize the traditional sequence of the massage so that it becomes second nature
  • use your own body weight to adjust the pressure of the massage
  • develop your own concentration and contemplation

At the end of the 32 days, it is envisaged that students will be able to use Vijay's Foot Therapy independently and accurately with their own clients at home.

This basic course provides an introduction to the science of Ayurveda, leaving a great deal more to be learnt. Further studies can be arranged with Vijay outside of a structured course, based on the ‘Gurukula’, or teacher-disciple apprentice system.
