A unique blend of massage, stretching and breathwork

Deep tissue massage helps to remove knots and adhesions in the muscles and soft tissues, releases tension and prepares the body of the receiver for assisted yoga stretching. A topical ayurvedic herb is applied to the skin with a small amount of oil and acts a blood detoxifier and nerve tonic.
Through synchronised breathing, the receiver is led progressively deeper into assisted yoga stretches that help correct postural imbalances and restore harmony to the subtle energies of the body.
These techniques incorporate the use of the hands and feet as tools for massage. The utilisation of the feet allows for deeper and more thorough pressure through long and graceful strokes.
This unique comprehensive approach to the body dissolves physical and emotional blocks, helps eliminate toxins, promotes correct posture, improves respiratory patterns, enhances energy levels, and leaves the receiver with a profound sense of well being.
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage was developed by Master Kusum Modak of Pune, India, who combined her knowledge of Traditional Ayurvedic Massage learned from her teacher and ayurvedic massage guru Master Lamaye Maharaj with Iyengar Yoga inspired assisted asana learned directly from BKS Iyengar himself to create a unique approach to Ayurvedic massage.
In short Ayurvedic Yoga Massage relieves tension, realigns the spine, strengthens the immune system, nourishes the skin, balances the nervous system and hormone production, releasing dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin. It promotes relaxation, restores mind-body communication, improves focus and concentration, and combats stress.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage 🌺🙏🏻

During my visit in Belgium my sister-in-law turned out to be very flexible so it was the perfect opportunity to finally get some pictures from this treatment 🤗 Thank you Sally and thank you mum to be photographer 🌺🙏🏻

But being flexible is not a must! We adapt to your limits! It's such a complete treatment. Highly recommend to try I if you didn't had the chance yet 😊🙏🏻

After 10 years decided that it was time for a new massage table 💆🏻‍♀️ If you see the last picture of my old table you most likely will agree 🙈

And the new one is definitely an upgrade! More space as longer and 5 cm wider and 7.6 cm thick foam so super soft and comfy 🤗

Tested it already and I hope clients will love it as much as I do! Will find out today. More than welcome to come for a relaxing Ayurvedic massage and to experience it yourself 🪷🙏🏻

Today I was honoured to give a Closing the Bones Ceremony to a woman who recently gave birth and it was such a beautiful session 🩷 And if anyone is wondering how to handle the little one during a Ceremony , I can tell he or she always plays a big role in it 😅 This time even more than usual as he not only was asking for breastmilk but also for his comfort, wanted to feel a b**b in his mouth without drinking and on top of that only falls asleep while feeling his mothers skin ... so we had to be creative to manage all this and decided to start the massage part with the baby in his mums arms. That was so beautiful and the mum really enjoyed that too 🩷 Luckily by the time she was being wrapped up in the Rebozos he fell asleep so I could very carefully put him down in the sofa followed by another lovely part of the Ceremony where I could touch his fingers and stroke his little head to keep him calm when he was starting to make waking up sounds 🤗 🩷 That worked well and so the mum had all the time to relax and have some much needed rest 👌🏼🙏🏻

And thank you mum to allow me to share this precious moment 🙏🏻

Preparing to go to a woman who recently gave birth to give her a Closing the Bones session 🤗🙏🏻 It will be nearly a day trip as I will depend on tram + train + ebike to make it to her sisters place but undoubtedly worth it and a small effort comparing to what it takes to give birth and handling everything that comes with it ...! Really looking forward to look after her very well and give her the care every woman so badly needs and deserves after giving birth! ♥️

A few days ago I was honoured to give a Closing the Bones Ceremonie to a very dear bhenjee 🪷🙏🏻 In her case this was not as a postpartum treatment but it truly does miracles for so many occasions! This song is always the first one after being wrapped up as it's been often very helpful to let go, surrender and to sink deep in your own centre ... and sometimes people are already snorring before this song is finished! 😊

More explanation about a full Closing the Bones session you can read below 👇

We start with a deep relaxation by bringing attention to the breath and by loosening shoulders, back, hips, pelvic area, arms, legs, ankles a feet using the Rebozo.

This ensures that you are completely 'sunk into yourself' and relaxed before we start the massage.

​
This is followed by the rocking of the hips in a rebozo, which brings relief into the lower back and in the ileo sacroiliac joints.

​
Then we start the abdominal massage in which we work deeper on the uterus and on the fascia to eliminate fatigue and tension. In the deeper treatment also massage of the breast area, armpits and arms is included which feels more as a complete treatment and it promotes lymphatic drainage, very essential when breast feeding (this can be done with a bra kept on if this feels more comfortable for you)

Then you become entirely wrapped up in Rebozos surrounded by healing sounds and songs !

​
We finish the session (entirely at your pace) with an appopriate tea mix

​
Besides the physical aspect, the treatment can give a very secure feeling, relax you deeply, release blockages and bring you to your essence so that it also can give direction to your life ! Can be very helpful in periods with a lot of changes.

It is highly recommended, especially as a first treatment for the recent postpartum mum !

​
However, this treatment can be very beneficial at different times ! So it can also bring deep peace and clarity at times when there are many changes in your life (loss, miscarriage and grief, moving, separation, ...)

It also can do miracles in anxiety disorders, trauma, autism spectrum disorder and high sensitivity.

Another 'Ashiatsu treatment in action' video 👣 It sometimes makes me think of surfing 🏄‍♀️ or snowboarding 🏂 lol luckily I have done both in the past as it might be helpful to keep the balance 😅

Again very helpful to release chronic pain as Sciatic pain, lower back pain, shoulder & neck pain etc !

08/05/2024

I can genuinely say that the Deep tissue Ashiatsu treatment where I mainly use my feet 👣 is so beneficial for all body aches and pains but in particular brings deep relief if you suffer from Sciatic pain, back neck and shoulder pain! Recently had someone who could barely walk but she was as good as pain-free the next day! It truly does miracles 🕊

The explanation about it on the website you can read below 👇

This massage is a powerful tool as it's the deepest deep tissue massage you can get! We work on a futon on the ground and I mainly work with my feet.

It can bring DEEP RELIEF if you are in CHRONIC PAIN!

This Deep Tissue massage works further into the fascia. It also will release trigger points and connective tissues. It is slower and more forceful in the application. Furthermore, Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage not only adds more pressure but it also adds compression. And it throws myofascial stretching into the mix. Compression massage squeezes the entire body from above and below. It also affects the internal organs. It is a soft structural integration that realigns the body. Skeletal adjustments often occur during a session. It also has myofascial benefits that relax and stretch contracted muscles.The potential healing properties of Ashiatsu massage catapults into a whole other level.

Some effects are

Strongly reduces chronic pain
Improves flexibility
Stress release
Better sleep quality

And this without residual Soreness. No bruising
The client does not experience the same pain as with traditional deep tissue massage. The softer but deeper application is a great benefit

TIP:

Surprise a dear one in pain with a gift voucher !

Just received this email today that Chardikala Yoga Massage is rated as the Best Massage Therapist in Sandwell 2024🙏🏻 Although I am aware that Guru Sahib is truly the only right judge ... it's still a beautiful sign of appreciation as I try to serve every person that I give a treatment at the best of my ability.

A sincere thank you to all my clients for the trust. Without you all I wouldn't be able to do what feels like what I am supposed to do here on this planet and what at the same time makes my soul happy, all Maharaj kirpa 🤍 🙏🏻
