To allow a full range of movement and flow during stretching, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage treatment is performed on a mat laid on the floor, similar to Thai massage.
Each treatment is adjusted to suit clients' needs, whether that is relaxing, energising, soothing, deep or remedial.
​
​The treatment is initiated with a sequence to warm up the body, which allows the session to become a moving meditation.
​
During the treatment, a mixture of oil and ayurvedic herb - Acorus calamus - in the form of powder, is applied to the skin.
​
Ground Acorus calamus, a root of wetland plant from the sweet flag family, stimulates the flow of blood, which not only helps to further warm up the muscles but also supports the body’s detoxing processes as well as giving a pleasant, warm, exfoliating feeling.
Is this right for you?
This work is for you if you’re holding ongoing tension, stress or fatigue, if you struggle to rest - or if you feel disconnected from your body after long periods of pushing through.
Many clients come because talking alone hasn’t helped, or because their body feels stuck, braced or overwhelmed and they struggle to rest.
What sessions are like:
Sessions combine slow, intuitive massage therapy and bodywork with nervous-system-aware support. Touch is guided by what your body is ready for - not forced or formulaic.
What people often experience:
Feeling more grounded and settled
Reduced tension and holding
A greater sense of safety in the body
More capacity to rest, feel and respond
