  • 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…

    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 saw Jacqueline for an Ayurvedic massage treatment and it was complete bliss, time stood still. She’s clearly a highly skilled and knowledgeable therapist who had keen insight into the sources of any aches and pains I’ve been dealing with and knew just which areas of the body needed work. Her warm friendly nature made her really easy to talk to while also making me feel assured that I was in the hands of a professional. From the beginning she took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and to understand me and my needs. She really listens and provides a personalised treatment to fit your concerns. Throughout she was extremely attentive, with time and pressure adapted to suit areas of my body, and created a calm, peacefully quiet atmosphere as I relaxed and meditated on the experience. The room felt lovely and comfortable and the temperature was perfect, as were the herbal powder and oil which also smelt and felt beautiful. Jacqueline’s exceptional knowledge and aftercare advice left me feeling nurtured and looked after. I felt she truly cared about ensuring her clients receive the best possible treatment and I left feeling restored and untroubled, like an actual weight had been lifted as I floated off down the street. I slept well that night too which is amazing as someone who struggles (to put it lightly) with sleep. I don’t think the word massage truly does justice to this treatment, it’s a whole holisitic experience carried out by a highly skilled practitioner which left me feeling totally relaxed and balanced in both body and mind. Would wholeheartedly recommend

    I slept really, really well, no restlessness at all. Also, my S.I. joint was completely alleviated –  I started to feel it a teeny bit today – but that is an incredible result and the first time for goodness knows how long that all tension from there has lifted. It gave me hope that over time the area will ease and not something permanent that  I ‘just have to get used to’, so I will definitely return.  I honestly felt physically free of any muscular or joint stress, and kept walking around thinking where’s the pain gone?? I’m so grateful for your generosity and kindness in how much you gave in the session.  The sound healing is gorgeous too and rippled down into my chakras – heaven ! It’s a very personal and sensory experience so I thank you for tuning into my physical and emotional needs and helping me heal.
