Welcome
to the California College of Ayurveda (CCA), the oldest state-approved
college and professional training program for the study of Ayurvedic
Medicine in America. We are pleased that you are considering expanding
your training and are interested in offering Ayurvedic Body Therapies
to your clients.
Ayurveda
is becoming more and more popular and its associated body therapies
are now being offered in more and more spas across the country.
Many people are now begining to ask for these therapies by name.

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. Because
of this commitment to high standards, our program is only being offered
as post graduate training to those students who are already qualified
as Massage Therapists.
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
and the Sierra Mountains.
Blessings,
