Ayurvedic Yoga Massage in Leeds

Enjoy an Ayurvedic Yoga Massage with a qualified therapist to rejuvinate and re-energise!

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) is a deep tissue oil massage followed by assisted yoga stretches. It is adjusted to suit clients needs, whether that is relaxing, energising, soothing, deep or remedial. The method was developed by Master Kusum Modak in Pune, India, after many years of studying traditional Ayurvedic massage and Iyengar yoga. AYM is an amazing technique which works on physical, emotional, mental and energetic levels. Ayurvedic Yoga Massage UK was set up in 2011 by Despina Psarra, with the intention of sharing this extremely effective and beautifully pleasant to give and receive method; and helping more people to benefit from receiving it by making it more widely available and accessible in the UK.

Treatment

An Ayurvedic yoga massage is tailored to suit individual clients. It can be relaxing, energising, soothing, deep or remedial depending on your needs. Sessions usually last between 60 to 120 minutes depending on your requirements. A session starts with an oil massage using hands and feet. This gradually warms up and softens muscle tissues, fascia and organs, helps breathing and improves circulation. We use natural oils and a powder from the ground root of Acorus calamus, a wetland plant in the sweetflag family. This gives a pleasant exfoliating feeling, but mainly helps improve circulation and warm up the tissues, intensifying the benefits of the massage. The oil massage is supported by gentle mobilisations, tractions and assisted (passive) yoga stretches. These help lengthen the tissues in a functional way, useful if you’ve had injuries. Through these gentle movements we help relax the tendons and ligaments, and improve the synovial fluid in joints.
