  • 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…

    That was fantastic. Thank you Joti

    I’ve really enjoyed every minute of my learning journey with Despina and feel that I have gained so much more than just being able to practice AYM! As well as being an amazing therapist, Despina is an approachable, supportive, attentive and collaborative teacher. Ever since the first workshop I did with her last year, it was clear to me that she genuinely cares about her students and wants to develop each one of us into confident, intuitive and well-informed AYM therapists who can give the best standard of service to their clients. She always makes herself available to her students and is always trying to find ways to help us improve our knowledge and skills. I just got back from Despina’s hometown in Chios where I completed my levels 3-5 and I’m still buzzing from the experience – hands-on massage training in small groups, daily yoga practice, healthy eating, beautiful nature and great company! So grateful to have found AYM (and Despina!)

    I had never had this type of massage before so did not know what to expect, but the therapist explained everything thoroughly before we started. Her calm approach helped me feel comfortable and relaxed. The treatment was fantastic, like nothing I’ve ever had before. I felt more connected to my body and achieved a deep sense of relaxation. The whole experience felt soothing and nurturing, and by the end of the treatment I felt a deeper connection to my body and senses. For anyone looking to improve their health and well-being, I would encourage you to try this treatment and therapist.
