  • 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’m really struggling with a back problem & when I’ve had my amazing massage I can actually move again. To be able to regain function & movement is such a good feeling. Such an intuitive practitioner. Thanks so much! Don’t hesitate to book in if you’re thinking about it.

    After a difficult year or so struggling with migraines as well as muscle tension and joint aches (thank you, menopause), I booked myself in for anAyurvedic Yoga Massage with Sam to help me relax and feel less anxious. I didn’t really know what to expect but I could never have imagined it would be so soothing and therapeutic. I’ve had a few massages this year but always felt that they left me feeling sore and depleted rather than relaxed and energised. This was not the case with Sam. From the second I lay down on the heated (yes, heated and it was bliss) futon, I could tell I was with a really intuitive and skilled masseuse who did everything she could to help me relax and ease away my tension. The deep breathing synchronised with the passive stretching was really powerful and I felt so much more open and in tune with myself than I Have for a long time. I highly recommend Sam for anyone looking for a really nurturing yet deep massage that isn’t just about targeting specific areas but treats your whole body and maybe some of your mind too.

    I followed my intuition only when I booked in for Despina’s course and how good that I’ve done! I wanted to improve my massage skill, find this school online and booked in for Level 1. Already on the first day of my training I loved it so much I decide to stay and learn more, so I have done Level 2 as well in one go. Despina is a highly skilled excellent teacher, with her kind and welcoming personality she made this amazing method so easy to learn. Also keeps pointing out the necessity for the comfortable positions of the therapist during the massage sessions. Highly recommend the course for anyone working with bodies and interested in massage. Thank you so much I can’t wait to develop my knowledge to the next level!
