Today, Tapovan has become one of the major centres in Europe for learning yoga and ayurveda. TAPOVAN was founded in the early 80's and has been running for over 25 years in the field of ayurveda and ayurvedic massage. Tapovan's teaching follows a millenary tradition in the spirit of a modern pedagogy and according to the "free progress" principles of the University of Nalanda.

The essential purpose of the various seminars is the personal development and well being of individuals.

The university-cities of Nalanda and Takshashila during Ancient India were excelling in all fields of knowledge. Ten thousand students, coming from many parts of Asia, enjoyed the knowledge of two thousand teachers in languages, science, philosophy and metaphysics.

The concept of a permanent education in a spirit of “Free Progress” prevailed in this place of memory, symbol of education, application, erudition, openness of mind and generosity. Established in an ecological environment, the universities illuminated the natural energy of the five elements: Earth, Water, Light, Air or Ether, free from all pollution.

Tapovan aspires to these ancient concepts and projects them in the 3rd millennium by instituting a creative and fruitful pedagogy between the East and the West. Experts from India and Europe regularly come to deliver us their treasures in all their authenticity.

Tapovan cherishes friendly relations with the University of London and Ayurvedic Universities of Hassan, Jamnagar and Benaras.

Each course includes 100 to 500 hours of theory and practice. They are meant for those who wish to acquire a new type of knowledge so that it can be shared with their friends and family but also to those who want to become professional therapists or specialists in various desired disciplines. The system of modules is used in a spirit of “Free Progress”: you can choose your discipline of interest and progress at your own pace, respecting at the same your aspirations and the needs and reality of your daily life.

Each course emphasizes on experience and based on the authenticity of tradition. They consist of a quest and applying changes towards well being, health and harmony. The practitioners of alternative health systems are expanding in the actual context. In order to answer this demand, each course is composed with breadth and depth, which will open a new window towards knowledge. It will also make you aware of yourself which will enable you to make advancements in your life.

At the end of the course, a passport of professional experience will be handed over and this will be used to validate your professional practice in one of the Tapovan centres.
