In this therapy training we will be working with two ancient sciences of India – Yoga and Ayurveda Massage. This massage combines deep penetrating strokes with Iyengar Yoga based stretches, which are gentle, orderly and progressive. The postures are adjusted to meet the conditions and needs of each receiver. The massage is done on floor with special herb and oil to stimulate the circulatory and lymphatic systems, helping to eliminate toxins and to improve vital energy.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage helps to improve posture, breathing, flexibility and mobility, restoring the energetic balance. By working on body-mind structure it also helps to connect and bring awareness to the body-mind, inviting the healing from deepest core, cleansing it from blockages that is vital to the physical, mental and spiritual health.
