  • 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

    I went for my first massage at Sage Studio a week ago, and at the time my biggest concerns were my neck and shoulders. I conveyed this to Sarah, who agreed there was tightness and tension there. After one session, my neck and shoulders feel amazing! So loose and free of pain now! The entire experience was set in a calming room and the moment I stepped inside I felt peaceful. I was asked what I wanted to achieve from the massage and I wanted to be rejuvenated, but was offered other options also. I felt safe and cared for as Sarah’s communication and expertise stretched the stresses away. I would highly recommend a massage with Sarah and look forward to going back in a few months time!

    I’ve known Sam for quite a while now and have had the great privilege to witness her holistic healing career develop from her roots in nutrition and naturopathy through yoga and massage to Ayurvedic Yoga Massage. Sam’s dedication to making anyone who seeks her help feel special, comfortable and ultimately better make her unique in my experience. No one has had such an impact on my journey towards wellness and I hope I find a way to repay her some day.

    I completed the 300 hour therapist training with AYM UK and it was a wonderful experience. The course environment is warm, welcoming, supportive and there is a feeling of community and acceptance of each unique student. Despina’s teaching is thorough and her passion for AYM is clear and very inspiring! She is very knowledgeable and always ensures that you are working in the most safe and effective way for yourself as a therapist, as well as for the client. The strong emphasis on hands on learning, by giving and receiving massage, really helps to embed what is being taught. The guidance given is great, not only during the training days but also the videos, resources and discussions on the practicalities and business aspect of being a therapist. The modules were well spaced, one a month, which allowed for time to practise before adding the next layer of techniques. This format also made it possible to fit the course in around home life and responsibilities. I gained so much during this training- not only learning this amazing, grounding technique and the many ways it can help people, but also regarding my own self-awareness and personal development. Highly recommend this course!
