Authentic reviews from our global community sharing their journey of learning, healing, and transformation at Haritha Ayurveda Academy, Rishikesh.
Three days, two hours a day, and I left able to perform Hijama safely. What impressed me most was how seriously they treat hygiene protocols and contraindications — that part is often skipped elsewhere.
I am a physiotherapist and added cupping to my practice after this course. The vacuum and dry cupping sections were immediately usable, and the needle cupping module gave me something to grow into.
Practical sessions in a real setting with actual supervision, not a demonstration video. The teacher corrected my cup placement and suction timing constantly, which is exactly what I needed.
What sets this apart is the Ayurvedic framing — dosha assessment before treatment rather than applying cups mechanically. That context made the whole therapy make sense to me.
Complete beginner and never felt out of my depth. Short course but very dense; I took a lot of notes. Certificate was issued at the end and has been accepted where I work.
Cupping massage was the surprise favourite for me — I use it on almost every client now. Doctors here have real experience and answer questions honestly, including when cupping is not appropriate.
