Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Therapy - Kusum Modak Method
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM) Therapy - Kusum Modak Method is a therapeutic bodywork modality that brings together the best of Ayurveda and Yoga. It was developed by Master Kusum Modak following many years of study of both Ayurvedic Massage and Iyengar Yoga.
It combines elements of deep tissue massage, Yoga-based assisted stretching, and coordinated breath-work into one treatment. This unique treatment helps dissolve physical and emotional blocks, promotes correct posture, improves respiratory patterns, enhances energy levels, and leaves the receiver with a profound sense of openness and well-being on a physical, psychological, and emotional level.
MORE INFORMATION
This is a tailor-made massage treatment where massage techniques, mobilisations, tractions, and stretches are offered according to the client’s individual needs. The treatment is performed on a futon on the floor, allowing for a full range of stretching. Oil mixed with the powder of an Ayurvedic herb called Vacha (Acorus Calamus) is used for the massage. The warming properties of Calamus improve blood circulation and warm up the muscles and prepares the body of the receiver for assisted yoga stretching. Using slow, deep, and strong strokes, massage is performed using both the hands and the feet. The utilisation of the feet allows for deeper and more thorough pressure . Through synchronised breathing, the receiver is led progressively deeper into assisted yoga stretches that help realign the body, correct postural imbalances, and restore harmony to the subtle energies of the body.

I highly recommend the Ayurvedic Yoga massage with Akanksha.
It brings the benefits of deep tissue massage with the added knowledge of Ayurveda which makes it a very effective combination.
As a musician, I regularly struggle with neck and shoulder pain and after 2 sessions with Akanksha I felt the release of pain on both sides of my body.
The massage is a very satisfying experience as you get to have an active part in it but it is also very relaxing.
