  • 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…

    My massage with Jill was such a special experience. An opportunity to feel comfortable, safe and benefit from the knowledge of an experienced therapist who understood my individual preferences and needs.  I felt that the massage was tailored for me to take advantage of all that an Ayurvedic yoga massage offers. I’m grateful to Jill, I felt amazing afterwards, a wonderful relaxing experience I would highly recommend.

    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!

    The 4 hour Back and Shoulder Ayurvedic Yoga Massage that I attended at ‘The Shala’ far exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere, intimate group size and the attention to detail combined with the warmth of delivery was superb. Despina is a skilled and knowledgable practitioner and this is totally embodied in the way she shares so passionately during the training. I look forward to doing more workshops and would recommend this workshop highly to yogis, massage therapists and any other bodyworkers.
