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 4 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?
We find that the 4-hour workshops are an excellent way for us to raise awareness of this amazing but little known technique, and also an excellent way to make AYM more accessible for people on low incomes who need treatments, but cannot afford regular full price treatments from a therapist.
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 we do feel very passionate about offering them.
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 with tea, fruit and snacks because it is intense! You'll experience that time flies.
Afterwards you'll receive the manual and access to the videos of the techniques we practiced. And I organise practice sessions at my place; low profile and in a community spirit.
Language used is NL and/or ENG, 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.
Collaboration with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage UK
Linda is a certified trainer and connected with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage UK.
"I've taken the workshop back and shoulders. Linda teaches the techniques in such a way that you can apply them immediately, even if you've never given massage yourself."
"Linda creates a warm, pleasant and safe environment to practice. I'm going to participate in the workshop 'Head & Neck massage' on March 25 too!"
