Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Uk

Open to students who have completed L1-3. In AYM level 4 we focus more on client experience and perfecting your technique than adding more massage strokes/stretches to your repertoire. You give full body sessions, take notes, get feedback from clients for whole sessions and discuss everything with me. You practice the introduction to the session and closing as well, in a supported environment. It's the part of the course where everything comes together!

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is a wonderfully effective method, which is a pleasure to both give and receive. It is based on traditional Ayurvedic Massage and Iyengar yoga, and its popularity has been growing as more therapists and clients experience it. This course is suitable for therapists who have already attended L1, and for L4 therapists working towards their L5.
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Level 2 is an intensive 15-hour course, which revises L1 (so the Level 1 course is a prere...quisite), and teaches you a sequence to complement the L1 sequence, so that you can offer a full body AYM treatment. The 15 hours will be covered over a weekend, i.e. two 8.5 hour days including the breaks.
Level 2 includes massaging the front of the body with the client face up. This includes the front of the legs, adductors, quadriceps, abductors, knees; massaging the abdomen and the chest; the neck, head and face. We will also learn some stretches with the client face up, and a few stretches with the client in a seated position. By attending L1&2 you can offer a complete full body massage which will leave your clients feeling like they're walking on clouds.
Most of what we do in the AYM videos is covered in L1-2. See photos below for more information on what is included in L2 (although exactly what we cover may vary depending on the group), and you can also read what people have to say about their experiences with AYM courses in the past ( https://ayurvedicyogamassageuk.org/testim onials/)
I will only accept a very limited number of students for this course, to make sure that everyone receives my closest attention..

Level 1 is a beautiful course, as people find out what Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is and what it can do for the first time. We start by trying to understand what it is that we are trying to achieve, thus setting the foundati...ons for students to become exceptional practitioners who will help transform people's lives. We also cover a lot of method, so the course is very intensive. It is wonderful to see new practitioners discover this powerful method, and fall in love with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage at the Level 1 courses, so it is one of the most amazing courses to teach, as well as to attend.
This video will show some of the technique we will learn on the day https://www.youtube.com/watch…

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage sessions are wonderful to receive, and can be adjusted to feel relaxing, soothing, therapeutic, energising.. AYM also feels like a blissful meditation/gentle yoga practice for the therapist. Both giving and receiving also help understand our bodies so much better! Read some testimonials here: www.aym.london/testimonials
We were in Mysore when we shot these videos and all my wonderful friends there are really fit and flexible. But if you are not currentl...y inhabiting a super fit yoga body don't worry! This method can be adjusted and works incredibly well for everyone.

Would definitely recommend training with Despina! I attended both of her AYM

courses this weekend at Meadowlark Yoga in Edinburgh (shoulders, neck and face, and back and shoulders). It was both very informative and enormous fun, and will also be of great benefit in my work as a yoga teacher. Despina is a fantastic teacher and I’m looking forward to joining her next year on her certificates courses to learn even more. Thank you so much! xXx

What a divine massage! I was lucky enough to have Andrea treat me on Sunday 26 February. I went along with no prior knowledge of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage at all - but a lot of Sports Massage experience. And I am happy to say it felt just as effective as a Sports Massage - Andrea was very thorough, firm and calming. I actually found myself switching off mentally - which is something I very rarely do ever! I felt like I had a complete body relax and my mind felt rested. Andrea is a very warm and kind person - and I cannot recommend her enough, book her! Thank you Andrea and Ayurvedic Massage for such a blissful experience.

We have recently returned from the beautiful Greek island of Chios where we completed a two week intensive Ayurvedic Yoga Massage training course, levels 1-4, taught by the wonderful Despina Psarra. She made the experience a truly memorable one. She is a fantastic teacher, host, cook and tour guide. The hospitality shown by her mum and dad was outstanding.

It felt like home from home. The course content is excellent and allows for plenty of practice and learning reflection. It is taught in a relaxed atmosphere and convivial setting. The island is a paradise of beaches, coves, mountains and medieval villages. Why wouldn’t you want to do this amazing course here? Terry & Annette Clarke-Coyne.

TKS so much lovely teacher Despina Psarra, for everything you have shared. TKS for the opportunity to learn with you and have my diploma to work as a professional therapist and to give me many tools to help people to feel better. Wish you love and harmony. Wish you can flow with live finding beautiful places and people in the way. Love love love xx.

Really enjoyed the Ayurveda massage Worksop, very well explained and informative, really lovely experience

Love, Love, Love!!!

As a sports massage therapist and someone who is used to relatively painful, deep treatments... This is the perfect alternative!!!

Despina is absolutely lovely, and what I got out of the course was absolutely just pure abundance. I love giving and receiving this treatment and so have all of my clients who've tried it!

Just completed the AYM L1 / L2 training with Despina, I loved the relaxed atmosphere and her hands-on approach to teaching. It quickly became apparent that not only was Despina an amazing massage therapist, she was also a natural teacher which allowed myself and the other students to quickly gain confidence in what we were doing. The combination of demonstration, detailed handouts and frequent massage practise sessions worked brilliantly. Whether you’re a massage therapist looking to learn AYM or just looking to add to your life skills I would highly recommend attending one of Despina’s workshops or training courses.

I'm a piano teacher and as you know, back pain is one of minuses of that profession. I had a few Ayurvedic Massages by Rita Petrova and even from the first Massage my back felt so much better. I had an amazing time having a massage with some oils, relaxing music and peaceful atmosphere. Rita has incredibly soft and sensitive hands, gentle and strong enough at the same time. She feels my body, the areas I have problems with. And another very important thing to me is that I know Rita as a very positive and kind person. I am thankful for the amazing experience I gained from her and the real help with my back problem. I can highly recommend Rita Petrova as a beautiful and professional masseur.

I would recommend Despina to everyone. She is a miracle worker.



I have tried so many different types of therapy nothing really worked until Despina worked her magic.



I have taken my mother and wife who have all enjoyed the benefits.



It's been almost two years having done yoga now and I can honestly say I have never felt better

I was lucky enough to attend Levels 1-4 in Greece with Despina. Not only is she a fantastic teacher, creating easy to follow content and notes but also a fantastic host. I've rarely eaten such wonderful food, the beaches were beautiful, the villages we visited all unique and lovely and the people open and generous.



I learnt so much in those 2 weeks its almost hard to believe! Back home Despina stays in contact to help with any future learning, gives tips for setting up your business and has brought me in contact with a whole new group of wonderful people as a support network. Fantastic!

I thoroughly enjoyed weekend of training with Despina. I learned so much and cannot wait to put all the knowledge to practice. I will surely carry on my education and attend more courses with Despina. She is a great and passionate teacher, always happy to help. Im glad to become part of the AYM community.

I really enjoyed Despina's AYM 4 hour course this werkend at Meadowlark in Edinburgh. The focus of the course was AYM for Head, Face and Neck. I teach yoga and had done a Swedish massage course in the past this AYM was very relevant for my work and interests.

We covered alot on Saturday and Despina is a lovely person and teacher. Very knowledgeable and authentic. Thoroughly recommend attending one of her courses or booking an AYM to experience first hand how good it feels.

I have just completed my Level 1 training with Despina and I loved every minute. I've learnt so much already and Despina is so knowledgeable that she shares as much as she can. I can't wait to do my Level 2 now and learn even more. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. :)

I have attended AYM workshop "neck, shoulders and head". It was taught in professional way and fun at same time. I am very happy with new experience I've got. I widened my knowledge and extended my skills in massage therapy. Already apply new techniques on my clients and they really like it!

Despina, you are lovely person. I'm glad I met you.

Thanks a lot.

I did an Ayurvedic Yoga Massage For Pregnancy Training with Despina last week. What a bliss! Being a massage therapist myself I am always keen on learning more & going deeper. All that is guaranteed with @Despina Psarra! Incredible how much you can offer to a pregnant client with this beautiful method - in a seated or lying position! You can even offer this to a non-pregnant client who just need nourishment & support. Highly recommended! Thank you so much Despina! Keep up the good work! All the best. Take care & See you soon Lots of love Pavlina xxx

I can't recommend Despina's technique enough. Quite simply the best massage I've ever had. And if you think you've had every type of massage going, you haven't! When she walked up and down my back complaining my skinny-man-ass didn't give the same purchase as does a lady's more upholstered posterior, it will give you an idea of the kind of thing your in for. Despina's quite lovely, she rediates warmth and serenity - a truly beautiful lady.

For quite some time I had a little inner voice telling me to experience an Ayurvedic Yoga Massage session or workshop. I believe that everything is incredibly aligned and I finally got the chance to do a back and shoulders workshop with Despina. She is an incredible and passionate teacher with the most warmth personality, a beautiful technique and attention to detail and she makes you feel confident and supported throughout the session! I totally recommend AYM and Despina's workshops - I am already booked for the next head, shoulders, neck and face workshop and looking at doing the level 1-2 in the near future!

Despina's treatments are always amazing. Her massages leave you feeling relaxed and thoroughly cared for. She listens to exactly what your body needs, giving care to warm and soften muscles, stretching and massaging tension and pain away.



I recently attended an Ayurvedic Yoga Massage workshop with Despina. It was great! We covered neck and head massage. She demonsrated the techniques very well, so it was easy to understand and remember. She is a great teacher and I look forward to learning more from her.

Despina is one of the most welcoming person I know. From our first encounter last year in the Head, shoulders, neck and face workshop to the last weekend Level 3, I keep falling for her constancy and determination to passing on passionately her knowledge of this wonderful wholesome technique that is Yoga Ayurvedic Massage. She is straightforward and delivers an excellent course, dressed in love and care! Her kindness goes beyond ordinary.

The homy environment where she offer her courses in London has a nice energy to it and makes you feel comfortable.

At the end of the course you feel encouraged and well supported.



The method itself is an opportunity for self-knowledge and an incredible tool for physical and emotional balancing.

With a slow and deep touch, it can access the denser and the subtler layers of body, mind and spirit. For those who give is a moment of mindfulness, presence and care with the other, puts us in a meditative state and commitment to well-being.

One thousands stars!

The homy environment where she offer her courses in London has a nice energy to it and makes you feel comfortable.

At the end of the course you feel encouraged and well supported.



The method itself is an opportunity for self-knowledge and an incredible tool for physical and emotional balancing.

With a slow and deep touch, it can access the denser and the subtler layers of body, mind and spirit. For those who give is a moment of mindfulness, presence and care with the other, puts us in a meditative state and commitment to well-being.

One thousands stars!
