  • 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

    Despina, Just wanted to let you know I’ve been getting some amazing feedback from people saying it’s the best they’ve ever felt in their body and that they never experienced anything like it before! I haven’t properly been charging yet, though people have been giving me money even when I haven’t asked for it, but I do feel ready to begin charging now. Anyway I was massaging a pal from my reflexology course last night and she said she wants to rebook in 2 weeks as a paying client and to have regular treatments with me, I’m over the moon, this is such a big milestone for me. Thank you so so much for everything, you have changed my life

    I didn’t know what to expect from Ayurvedic massage at all. Marta explained everything, asked me few questions about my general health. The massage was very gentle, involved some stretching too, afterwards I felt very relaxed and rejuvenated. Marta was very professional, but created warm, friendly atmosphere. Adjusted pressure and focused on places that needed more attention. Strongly recommend, 5 stars from me. Returning client:)

    This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of completing the L1-2 AYM training with Despina. The course is amazing and it was lovely to have an intimate and friendly group in a perfect space. Despina is an excellent teacher who made sure that we were all understanding the techniques and feeling comfortable in our own bodies whilst we practiced the techniques. It’s an intense but deeply nourishing few days of training completely focussed on giving and receiving treatments. Also getting to experience Despina’s massage not only felt amazing but helped me understand what feels great on a client. As a yoga teacher I feel that these techniques combine perfectly with yoga and are popular with my students. Can’t wait for levels 3-4 and I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in a deeply relaxing, effective and grounding massage style.
