YOGA MASSAGE with JOSEPHIN

Yoga massage is a fantastic full body treatment that really reaches in depth both physically and mentally.

The treatment is performed on a mattress on the floor using both hands and feet, the pressure is adapted to your muscle tension. First we soften the muscles with massage and then do assisted yoga stretches.

Yoga massage has its origins in yoga and ayurveda, two ancient Indian sciences where the holistic perspective is central. Through oil massage from ayurveda and assisted stretch and breathing technique from yoga, the body is stimulated to return to its natural health and vitality.

Assisted stretching has several benefits as it provides increased opportunities to reach deeper than in yoga, balances, opens up and creates space in the body.

The treatment is suitable for everyone as it adapts completely to you as a customer, it can be very soft or deep. Stretches are always performed in agreement with you as a customer where you say “stop” and are actively breathing into the stretch.
