Ayruvedic Yoga Massage from the Source

Our massage therapist, Tai Souza, has just returned from India, where she spent several weeks refining her skills in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage under the guidance of the founder of this therapy, Kusum Modak.  Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is a unique form of yoga-based body work that combines the remedial benefits of yoga stretches & breath work with the healing benefits of Ayurvedic medicine. Through pressure point massage, the use of organic oils and deep, assisted yoga stretches, this treatment provides a detoxifying experience that realigns the body and stimulates the natural flow of energy.

The combination of Ayurvedic massage and the Iyengar Yoga method balances the nervous, respiratory and circulatory systems, eliminates toxins, realigns posture, improves muscle tone and increases range of motion. On her trip to India, Tai also studied under Iyengar Yoga master H.S. Arun to deepen her knowledge of the practice and incorporate it into her massages.

What to Expect

The massage is performed on a mat using pressure (applied by hands and feet), traction, and conscious breathing, to prepare the body for passive yoga stretches. The steady and rhythmic breath work utilized and encouraged by the therapist during the massage redistributes oxygen throughout the body, replenishing internal energy reserves to allow for better sleep quality and improved levels of concentration. The Ayurvedic herbs used for the massage are sattvic in quality, and as such purify the blood and organs to speed up detoxification and stimulate the natural flow of energy. These factors make Ayurvedic Yoga Massage the ideal complement to any cleanse or detox.
