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…

Joy has been my masseuse for the last year, as I have lower back/sciatica issues along with very tight shoulders. I have always lived in London, and it has been very difficult to find a good masseuse. I need deep tissue massages to relieve tension in my back and have seen many therapists over the years with little success. I was recommended Joy by my trainer and she exceeded my expectations. Joy consistently provides massages at an excellent standard, listens to your needs and provides helpful advice on stretches that can be done in your own time . . . She is very active in developing her skills which is reflective in her treatments. Highly recommend!

I recently completed the Level 1-2 training in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage with Despina and her team. I can honestly say it was an incredible experience. Despina has a very beautiful teaching style and made the group feel relaxed and acknowledged. The pace of learning was great. The lunches provided were soooo good! I would highly recommend this training for anyone interested in learning this powerful massage method. I will be signing up for further levels of training for sure! Thank you to all who made it happen.

I really enjoyed learning AYM with Despina, she is extremely knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience that she is able to pass on. The courses are informative, and practical with loads of hand-on practice. I learnt so much! And I thoroughly enjoyed them!
