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

Christina Bolt

“I was lucky enough to attend Levels 1-4 in Greece with Despina. Not only is she a fantastic teacher, creating easy to follow content and notes but also a fantastic host. I’ve rarely eaten such wonderful food, the beaches were beautiful, the villages we visited all unique and lovely and the people open and generous. I learnt so much in those 2 weeks it’s almost hard to believe! Back home Despina stays in contact to help with any future learning, gives tips for setting up your business and has brought me in contact with a whole new group of wonderful people as a support network. Fantastic!”

Emily is a beautifully down to earth and heart in right place type of person, coupled with strength of character and a deep interest in all healing modalities. I totally recommend Emily for a great Ayurvedic massage. I particularly love the Ayurvedic with sound bowl massage as I know the depth of the release from the massage will be enhanced with the vibrations from the bowl. On request, Emily can do the massage at your house so you can go from heated blanket and lovely massage, to your own place of comfort afterwards which can really add to the opportunity to gain the benefits of immune boosting, tension releasing, holistically balancing body mind and spirit.

I really enjoyed learning AYM with Despina, she is extremely knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience that she is able to pass on. The courses are informative, and practical with loads of hand-on practice. I learnt so much! And I thoroughly enjoyed them!
