  • How much Ayurvedic Yoga Massage do you need?

    By Despina Psarra• 02/02/2025
    Clients often ask me how much AYM is too much – really, there is no maximum of how much would be beneficial! Unless you’ve been on a yoga retreat for the past couple of months, in which case, maybe you’re already *really* close to your optimal health. For most of us, that just doesn’t tend…

Customer testimonials

  • Alistair Findlay, Level 2 Therapist

    Just completed the AYM L1 / L2 training with Despina, I loved the relaxed atmosphere and her hands-on approach to teaching. It quickly became apparent that not only was Despina an amazing massage therapist, she was also a natural teacher which allowed myself and the other students to quickly gain confidence in what we were doing. The combination of demonstration, detailed handouts and frequent massage practise sessions worked brilliantly. Whether you’re a massage therapist looking to learn AYM or just looking to add to your life skills I would highly recommend attending one of Despina’s workshops or training courses.Alastair Findlay, Therapist, Aberdeen

    Despina, I just wanted to thank you for this amazing method! Having the treatment from you at the end of the course was magical, the benefits lasted for days.  I really do think it should be mandatory for every student to feel the magic of your touch in a 60 or 90 minute treatment. I wrote about 4 pages of notes on the train that afternoon as I tried to remember all the strokes and sequences and your skills used on my back and shoulders. I don’t think I have ever felt that open and free in my upper body.  I felt so peaceful on my journey home, it should be mandatory for all your students to receive your massage after training!

    Wonderful massage, the therapist made me feel at ease and knew exactly what she was doing. Would definitely go again.
