Asheville School of Massage and Yoga

The 675-Hour Massage Therapy Certification Program is designed to give students a solid foundation in the fundamentals of massage and bodywork therapy, supported by an in-depth understanding of the sciences behind massage: anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and pathology. Each semester is followed by a student self-care retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation. The Asheville School of Massage & Yoga is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork as a continuing education provider. Special features of our program include:

Yoga

Yoga is used as a teaching aid in every course in the curriculum.

Small Class Size

Each class has a maximum of 16 students with a student-to-teacher ratio of 16:1 for hands-on and lecture classes.

Flexible Class Hours

Regular classes are held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9-5 allowing students to have ample time for work and study.

Individualized Tutorials

Students will meet regularly with their teachers for individual tutorial sessions and to discuss individual questions and concerns as they progress.

Self-care Immersions

We will come together for three Thursdays during the program to learn and practice techniques for self-care as a massage therapist. Self-care includes practices to prevent burn-out, body care stretches, meditation, energy balancing, somatic psychology processes, and strategic planning and goal setting. Each intensive will be an opportunity for rich self-discovery and exploration through yoga, meditation, journaling, group discussion, and field trips.
