The oil massage techniques used in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage are complemented with gentle mobilisations, tractions and assisted (passive) yoga stretches, which help lengthen the tissues and can help bring a deep sense of relaxation and renewed energy.
Through these gentle movements we also help relax tendons and ligaments, and renew the synovial fluid in joints.
By working with both oil massage and movement, we usually work close to the client’s limits on the day, depending on what the body and mind are ready to receive.
We combine working close to the limits with using the breathing to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system and release tension.
Massaging, moving or stretching tense muscles can cause pain, resistance or agitation. Mindful touch and deep, relaxed breathing, can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which not only helps release, but it helps retrain the nervous system to release quicker when agitating circumstances occur in our lives.
This brings a lasting feeling of being centred, where we are less likely to feel agitated or restless, and experience increased clarity of thought ♡
