Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is a combination of deep tissue massage and assisted Yogic stretches. It is performed on a mattress on the floor, with a use of a little oil and a calamus (sweet flag) powder, stimulating blood circulation and detoxifying the body.
The workshop
You will learn a basic sequence of massage strokes and stretches, along with their indications and contraindications.
The workshop is designed for both massage therapists and beginners on the path of body work. It is especially beneficial for Yoga practitioners, as it helps to develop body awareness and recognise the body’s needs and limits.
The massage
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) is a full body massage, involving alternation between deep tissue massage and assisted Yogic stretches. Gradually a sense of openness and deep relaxation is brought to the person receiving it.
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is performed on a mattress on the floor. Both hands and feet are used in the process of delivering the massage. We also work with the breath, to increase the therapeutic benefits. Mindful touch and deep, relaxed breathing allow the nervous system to relax and let go. This helps to re-educate the system and brings long lasting effects of feeling centred, less likely to get agitated or restless, and experience clarity of thoughts.
Another unique tool of the AYM is the use of calamus (sweet flag family) root powder which, mixed with a little oil, brings out the toxins from the body and helps to warm up the tissues. The scrubbing and stimulating feeling awakens the skin, blood circulation and the senses.
The workshop
You will learn a basic sequence of massage strokes and stretches, along with their indications and contraindications. We will cover the entire body, learning to alternate deep stimulation and body opening Yogic stretches.
The workshop is designed for both massage therapists and beginners on the path of body work. It is especially beneficial for Yoga practitioners, as it helps to develop body awareness and recognise the body’s needs and limits.
