Ayurvedic Yoga Massage

A unique floor-based treatment combining therapeutic massage, assisted yoga stretches and breathwork to ease muscular tension, improve mobility and leave your whole body feeling lighter and more open.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) brings together traditional massage techniques with assisted stretches inspired by yoga.

Performed on a comfortable floor-based mattress using warm oils and traditional Ayurvedic herbal powders, the treatment allows greater freedom of movement than conventional table massage.

Every session is personalised to your body. The pressure, stretches and areas of focus are adapted to your flexibility, comfort and what you need from the treatment that day.

This Treatment May Be For You If...

✓ You experience muscular tension or stiffness
✓ Your neck, shoulders or back regularly feel tight
✓ You'd like to improve flexibility and mobility
✓ You spend long periods sitting or working at a desk
✓ Your body feels restricted or in need of a good stretch
✓ You're physically active or recovering from training
✓ Stress leaves you feeling tense through your body
✓ You enjoy massage but would like something more dynamic
✓ You'd like massage, stretching and breathwork in one treatment

You don't need any previous yoga experience or a particular level of flexibility. Every stretch and technique is adapted to your individual body and comfort.

What Is Ayurvedic Yoga Massage?

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is a distinctive form of therapeutic bodywork combining massage, assisted yoga stretches, breath awareness and mindful movement.

Unlike conventional massage performed on a treatment bed, AYM takes place on a comfortable floor mattress. This gives me greater freedom to work with your whole body and incorporate assisted stretches and movement alongside massage.

Warm oil is used together with traditional Ayurvedic herbal powders, helping the hands move smoothly while providing additional grip where deeper massage techniques are required.

The result is a treatment that can feel both deeply restorative and physically freeing.

What Happens During Your Treatment?

Your appointment begins with a brief consultation where we'll discuss how your body is feeling, any areas of tension or restriction and what you'd like from the session.

The treatment is then adapted accordingly.

Depending on your needs, your session may incorporate:

Therapeutic massage to work with areas of muscular tension.

Assisted stretching to encourage greater freedom of movement.

Breathwork to support relaxation and help you move comfortably into stretches.

Joint mobilisation and mindful movement to encourage mobility and body awareness.

The treatment can be stronger and more focused or slower and restorative depending on what feels appropriate for you.

Benefits of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage

Ease Muscular Tension

Focused bodywork can help soften tight and tired muscles.

Improve Mobility & Flexibility

Assisted stretching encourages greater freedom of movement.

Support Posture & Body Awareness

Particularly useful for people who spend significant time sitting or working at a desk.

Reduce Stress

Massage, movement and conscious breathing combine to create both physical and mental relaxation.

Complement an Active Lifestyle

A great option for people who exercise, practise yoga or simply want their body to move more freely.

Do I Need to Practise Yoga?

Not at all.

Despite the name, you don't need to practise yoga or be particularly flexible to experience Ayurvedic Yoga Massage.

You remain passive for much of the treatment while I guide and support your body through appropriate stretches.

Everything is adapted to your individual range of movement — there is no expectation to achieve a particular position or stretch.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage or Traditional Massage?

This is another section I'd add.

Choose Ayurvedic Yoga Massage if...

You'd like therapeutic massage combined with assisted stretching, movement and breathwork, particularly if stiffness or mobility is one of your concerns.

Choose Restorative Calm Massage if...

Your priority is switching off and receiving a slow, deeply relaxing massage on a treatment bed without assisted stretching.
