MASSAGE AND YOGA GLASGOW

Ayurvedic yoga Massage

An Ayurvedic Yoga Massage combines traditional Indian massage techniques with yoga stretching therapy to provide a relaxing and rejuvenating experience for the body and mind. During the massage, natural oils and a powder made from the Acorus calamus root are used to warm up and soften muscle tissues and fascia, improve circulation, and promote natural healing in joints.

The massage is supported by gentle mobilisations, tractions, and assisted (passive) yoga stretches, which help lengthen the tissues in a functional way, making it useful for those who have had injuries. By using these gentle movements, the tendons and ligaments can be relaxed, and the circulation can be improved, promoting natural healing in the joints.

The benefits of an Ayurvedic Yoga Massage are numerous, including reducing mental and physical tensions, relieving lower back ache and sciatica, increasing blood circulation and the removal of toxins, helping to balance out postural problems, increasing flexibility and range of motion, and stretching the fascia, which helps to realign the body's structure. The holistic approach of the treatment takes the whole person into consideration, leaving them feeling centred, calm, and relaxed.

Reiki Therapy

Reiki is a non-intrusive form of holistic therapy which uses spiritual energy to treat physical and emotional discomfort. Reiki can be translated as ‘universal life force energy’ or ‘spiritual energy’. and has been used as a form of healing practice, developed by a Japanese Buddhist priest, Dr Mikao Usui between 1865-1926. Dr Usui developed the Usui Spiritual Energy Healing Method which became known worldwide as ‘Reiki’.

A Reiki session involves the practitioner placing their hands either just above the client’s body or very lightly touching the client’s body and performing various reiki hand positions from head to feet whilst channelling reiki energy to the client. Each reiki hand position treats different areas of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The client is fully fully clothed throughout the session, and can be particularly beneficial for those who feel uncomfortable having a more traditional massage.

Reiki brings many benefits including.

• Holistic system of healing for balancing all aspects of the person

• Encourages personal and spiritual awareness and growth

• Can relieve pain, anxiety, and fatigue

• Helps to treat depression

• Boost mood

• Can help with headaches, tension, insomnia, and nausea as it enhances the relaxation response within the body.

Additionally, reiki can help to promote the body's natural healing processes, reduce stress and tension, and support emotional well-being. It is a gentle and safe form of healing that can be beneficial for people of all ages and backgrounds. During a reiki session, clients often report feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful, and calm. Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, but it can be used alongside conventional medicine to support the body's natural healing process. The number of sessions required will vary depending on the individual and their specific needs.

    Margaux Archard-Brown

  • Had a very therapeutic and relaxing Ayurvedic massage from Gem and she has already helped ease tension after a heavy 5 days of yoga teacher training took its toll on my body! It was the perfect blend of pressure, and sensitivity in a warm and welcoming space. Highly recommended Gem for a massage, for those in and around the Glasgow area.

    David (Kundalini Teacher)

  • I have been coming to Gem every month for an Ayurvedic Yoga Massage since January this year and I always leave feeling fantastic. If you want a deep tissue massage and stretch, she is your lady!
