🧘‍♀️ What is Ayurvedic Yoga Massage?

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) is a unique healing system that combines:

  • Deep tissue oil massage using hands and feet

  • Assisted yoga stretches to open and lengthen the body

  • Coordinated breathing to calm the nervous system and enhance each movement

Rooted in the principles of Ayurveda and yoga, this works deeply on both the physical and energetic bodies.

How often should I have a treatment?

🌿 A Tailored Experience

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is not a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Each session is thoughtfully adapted to meet your individual needs—honouring your body, lifestyle, and current state of health.

Whether you're looking to relieve tension, improve mobility, or simply reconnect with yourself, each treatment is designed to support where you are, in the moment.


🔄 Frequency of Treatments

To gain the full benefits of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage, it’s recommended that sessions are spaced no more than 4 to 6 weeks apart.


Regular treatments can help maintain the effects on both body and mind, supporting long-term wellbeing.

⚠️ When Not to Receive AYM

While AYM is highly beneficial, it's not suitable for everyone at all times. For your safety and comfort, please avoid treatment if you currently have:

  • Any recent or open wounds

  • Burns or skin infections

  • Bruising or inflamed areas

  • Any fractures (broken bones)


📝 Before Your Session

Before your first session, you’ll be asked to complete a brief health questionnaire. This allows the treatment to be safely tailored to your needs and any current conditions.


💚 Your Wellbeing Comes First

Like everything in life, AYM may not be suitable for everyone. Your safety, comfort, and long-term wellbeing are our top priorities.
