Kusum Modak Method – Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Therapy

DESCRIPTION

Kusum Modak Method – Ayurvedic Yoga  Massage Therapy is a special bodywork therapy that combines ancient Indian massage with stretches inspired by Iyengar Yoga. It is a deep and vigorous treatment which uses the rhythms of one’s breath as a compass. This vast technique combines hundreds of movements that unlock sensations and energies, releasing tensions and eliminating toxins, acting as a powerful healer for posture alignment, fatigue, panic attack, distress or any kind of physical or emotional pain. Furthermore, it helps to return the body and mind to their natural equilibrium and state of well-being.

THE EXPERIENCE

The treatment takes place on a special mat set in a room scented with handpicked aromatherapy oils. Over the course of a one-hour session, Purnima works in a meditative state to connect with the body and intuitively guide her massage. She uses vegetable oil combined with a natural and medicinal root powder to warm up the muscles and exfoliate the skin. During the massage, she uses the rhythm of her breath combined with the client’s  breath to perform stretches using her hands, forearms, elbows and feet. This technique brings a beautiful awareness and flows within the body and a wholly cleansing peace and vitality.

KUSUM MODAK METHOD AND STRESS MANAGEMENT

Harmful stress is not always easy to pinpoint. It manifests itself in our breath, our sleep, our eating habits, our communication and most importantly, our presence. It often originates from a loss of control over accelerating areas in our lives. Taking actions such as short vacations, visits to the gym or a good night’s sleep might not be enough to resolve accumulated tensions when one has reached a state of unmanageable stress or distress that requires a deeper intervention.

Kusum Modak Method is an exceptional tool for stress management that surpasses many other types of therapies by virtue of its holistic approach. It addresses all levels of distress (physical, emotional and mental) through deep breathing and stretching. And the powerful connections that it creates within the body revive the patient’s sense of feeling.

Accumulating tensions in the physical body can block the free flow of vital energies and induce distress in the endocrine system, causing the glands to secrete unbalanced levels of hormones. By initiating deep relaxation, the Kusum Modak Method has delivered excellent results in readjusting neurotransmitters and restoring the flow of energies and hormone levels. It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the body’s ability to recuperate from stress.

These benefits will reflect in your mood, confidence, well-being, concentration, body awareness and vitality and be felt not only during the treatment but for days afterwards. Most importantly, the treatment will bring a lasting sense of security and integrity, which is essential to stress management.
