Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM from now on) is a traditional Indian deep tissue technique and at the Harmonia Ashram it is practiced in its purest and most complete form. It was developed by Master Kusum Modak, India, who dedicated her entire life to it. Kusum combined two techniques learned from world-famous masters: BKS Iyengar (Yoga master) and Vasudev Limaye (Ayurvedic masseur therapist). As a result, this technique is the combination of the ancient art of Ayurvedic Massage with asanas and stretches based on Iyengar Yoga.
The aim is to restore harmony and balance to the entire body-mind system through the synchronization of breathing with Yoga positions and, at the same time, with the movements performed by the masseur on the recipient.
AYM is a dynamic and complete technique, it takes place on the floor (on a futon) and can last from 75 to 90 minutes.
The type of touch applied is composed of slow, deep and penetrating movements performed with hands and -sometimes- feet, the intensity of which is adjusted according to the needs of each recipient.
The Yoga poses, or Asanas, that are included in the treatment are delicate, simple and progressive. Furthermore, they take place in an assisted manner: the operator will therefore support the recipient in entering each position and will adapt the intensity based on the psycho-physical conditions. During the treatment, from time to time, you will be invited to stay connected to your breathing: one of the fundamental elements to ensure that the effects of the treatment go in depth!
Furthermore, special Ayurvedic herbs and sesame oil are used in this technique to stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, helping to release toxins and increasing vital energy.
