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.
Vibroacoustic massage
Vibroacoustic massage is a form of sound therapy that originated in the Himalayas. It’s a frequency massage using a Tibetan singing bowl – an ancient healing instrument.
​
You can hear a soothing sound and feel a deep resonance of the bowl directly in your physical body, emotional body as well as the mind as the sound and vibration gently balances your being on a cellular level. The sound and vibration reach every cell of your body, bringing a feeling of harmony, a deep state of relaxation and mental clarity.
In practical terms, during the treatment, a singing bowl is placed directly on your body and moved along your body whilst I tap and activate it to vibrate and create sound.
​
This is a deeply healing treatment that can release tension in the physical body, alleviate muscular aches and pains, increase energy levels, as well as reduce the effects of stress, anxiety, insomnia, eliminate energy blockages and help balance emotions.
It is NOT suitable for those who are pregnant, have pacemakers, suffer from epilepsy, schizophrenia, psychosis, or active PTSD.
“There is no organ system in the body that’s not affected by sound, music and vibration. You can look at disease as a form of disharmony.”
