Ayurvedic Yoga Massage UK

This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of completing the L1-2 AYM training with Despina. The course is amazing and it was lovely to have an intimate and friendly group in a perfect space. Despina is an excellent teacher who made sure that we were all understanding the techniques and feeling comfortable in our own bodies whilst we practiced the techniques. It’s an intense but deeply nourishing few days of training completely focussed on giving and receiving treatments. Also getting to experience Despina’s massage not only felt amazing but helped me understand what feels great on a client. As a yoga teacher I feel that these techniques combine perfectly with yoga and are popular with my students. Can’t wait for levels 3-4 and I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in a deeply relaxing, effective and grounding massage style.

I lack words to describe how extraordinary Despina is. The massage was detailed, exploratory, firm yet gentle and full of awareness of how my body responded to the variety of pressure and movement applied to it.Despina’s space in Hoxton Square is so welcoming - it relaxes you the very moment you walk in. It undoubtedly reflects her personality and spirit.I left revitalised and will definitely be back as soon as possible.Thank you, Despina.

I’ve had amazing experiences doing my L1-4 with Despina who brings such depth, warmth and nurture to the whole training. I always leave wanting to come back and learn more!Absolutely recommend.

Wow! Such an amazing experience, I learned much more than just a new massage technique, I felt like I spend 5 days in a perfect world, surrounded by beautiful and caring people, amazing vegan food and an a inspirational woman with a such an important mission Despina. From than I couldn't stop to trying practice as much as I can to give people all the incredible benefits this massage can provide. Looking forward to seeing them again for the level 3-4!

I can confidently say, this course is a true innovation in the fields of massage and alternative therapies. The quality of materials and skills I’ve acquired over the past two weeks have outpaced all of my previous training. As a therapist, this course really opened my eyes and gave me a deeper trust and understanding of my craft. Despina is a gifted creator, healer, and guide - her knowledge and attention to detail is truly compelling.- Melodie

Excellent therapeutic massage in a friendly environment with expert advice. Despina knows exactly what she is doing and she is happy to discuss it with you! Absolutely a must! Thank you so much Despina!

I have been wanting to have a massage from Despoina for years, as she has trained some of the best massage therapists I know.At last, she has opened her new space in London and I had the opportunity to get my session with her, today.I was literally blown away by her skills and her technique!I have been having chronic pain in my lower back and Despoina truly managed to work it out of my body. She managed my abdomen, my thighs (front and back), helped me stretch and regain mobility and only then did she work my lower back.Genius!!I will definitely be visiting again.

I recently completed the Level 1-2 training in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage with Despina and her team. I can honestly say it was an incredible experience. Despina has a very beautiful teaching style and made the group feel relaxed and acknowledged. The pace of learning was great. The lunches provided were soooo good! I would highly recommend this training for anyone interested in learning this powerful massage method. I will be signing up for further levels of training for sure! Thankyou to all who made it happen.
