Massage Workshops
LEARNING MASSAGE FOR EVERYONE
Wouldn't it be great if you can give a massage to your friends and family with the right technique, trust and enjoying it? This way we can share the healing power of touch.
A workshop takes about 3 hours. I will guide you during the workshop. After an introduction about Ayurvedic yoga massage and getting to know each other, we get going. Massage is not only about technique, but also about creating a safe and relaxed environment. That's why I also address ethics, intentions and contra-indications.
Why workshops?
It is an excellent way to make massage/AYM more accessible for everyone. The workshops are also an excellent way to get to know this amazing but little known technique
There is always space and need for trained therapists of course, but learning a bit of bodywork is really a life skill that is so useful for all of us. There is so much we can do for each other, so easily, just with a little bit of training! So it is my passion to also teach massage workshops.
How does it work?
Every workshop will be based on the needs and requests of participants, so every workshop is different. You can mention your needs and requests prior to the workshop and I will create a thoughtful sequence.
I show every technique on a participant so they feel what the idea is and can give feedback to their workshop-partner. Then you practice on each other and I'll go round to help and answer questions.
Halfway we take a break because it is intense! You'll experience that time flies.
Afterwards you'll receive the manual of the techniques we practiced.
Language used is Dutch and/or English, depending on participants.

What is Ayurvedic Yoga Massage?
This video shows a combination of the deep-tissue massage and stretches. Here it is deeper work on the back and sitting opening stretches after which he will feel more energetic, as he asked for.
Every massage is adapted to what you need.
This video shows another combination of the deep-tissue massage and stretches. You can see more massage of the back, shoulders and neck. Next come mobilisaties en stretches. This gives deep relaxation aswel as space and opening in the body.
Unique about AYM is also the use of the feet for massage. This provides more pressure but spread over a larger surface.
