About Nirvana School

Traditional Thai Yoga Massage, Taught With Anatomy & Sen-Line Understanding

Nirvana — School of ThaiMassage & Yoga is a place to learn deep relaxation and clinical bodywork through the wisdom of Thai Yoga Massage, Sen lines and mindfulness — based in Gaya, Bihar, near Bodhgaya.

Our Core Philosophy

Why we teach the way we do.

Siddharth Gautam also needed to relax & calm his mind before he could attain enlightenment. To reach a state of peace, serenity and equanimity, you need to be well centred & balanced from inside. Liberation from cravings not only balances your mind, but also frees you from gross emotions. When we release trapped energies from our channels, we have so much surplus energy left — energy that was earlier fuelling our untamed mind is now available across all energy channels to heal us on a physical and emotional level.

Our Mission

What we set out to protect, teach and establish.

  • Preserve the traditional art of Thai Massage in its original form.
  • Give students a better, deeper understanding of traditional Thai massage.
  • Offer courses and training with low risk for wider, well-accepted application of Thai Massage.
  • Establish Thai Yoga Massage as an internationally recognised practice that serves both physical and mental health within an academic setting.
  • Use clinical and therapeutic understanding of human anatomy to align every routine and technique with body posture, balance and stability.
  • Deliver yoga courses with clinical understanding of yogic postures for balance and symmetry — safe enough for people in their 60s to progress without repercussion.

What We Teach

Our practices are built on the ancient art of energy lines — Sen lines or meridians — the same foundation over which Acupressure and Acupuncture are taught.

Criteria for Acceptance

Enrollment is about intention, not just fees.

Gratitude and submission towards the teacher and the knowledge are fundamentals needed before enrollment. It is not an issue of money or grades — your reason for pursuing the course (your Statement of Purpose) decides whether you will be accepted by the teachers.

Courses run from 1 to 4 weeks, and we expect you to attend at least 80% of the lessons during that duration. We also ask you to set aside any previous knowledge until the end, so you can start with a clean slate.

If a student does not comply with these criteria and is sent back, they will not be able to enroll again.

Where We Train

Headquartered in Gaya, Bihar — close to Bodhgaya.

Location of Training

We are headquartered in Gaya, Bihar. All major training is offered in Gaya on a one-to-one basis or in small group settings. Once a year we travel to Rishikesh and Mysore for time-bound workshops.

Nirvana School Story

Small Batch Supervision

In generic schools with 30+ students, no one corrects your thumb pressure or therapist posture. At Nirvana School, our batches are strictly capped at 12 students so I personally watch and refine your hands-on technique every single day.
