About The Modak Institute
Master Kusum Modak launched the Modak Institute (MI) in November 2019, achieving a lifelong dream to guarantee the legacy of her work for future generations. MI is the first and only legal entity authorised by Kusum Modak herself. Prem Purnima, one of Kusum Modak’s senior teachers, was invited to contribute to the development of the Institute and became one of the Founding Board Members. To learn more about Modak Institute’s history, mission, vision and values, please follow this link: Modak Institute. Purnima is also honoured to be the representative of the Modak Institute in the U.K.
The MI board, under the direct guidance of our Master Kusum Modak, have been working relentlessly to bring forth the art of Master Kusum Modak’s work in its pristine entirety and accuracy, clearing any distortions and edits that may have deviated from the practice of her teachings over time. MI ensures a streamlined delivery of the work, faithful to its original form from now on into the future.
In April 2023, Master Kusum Modak went to Brazil to bless the first Modak Institute training. The Training was delivered in Cotia, a beautiful forest area outside Sao Paulo, and facilitated by her senior teachers and Modak Institute, a certified teacher. It was an honour to be part of this beautiful team of teachers and guide over 20 students to align with Kusum’s actual work and new ones starting their journeys into Kusum Modak Method.
This Autumn/2023, Purnima brings the first official Modak Institute Training to the UK!
Students will have the opportunity to absorb the teachings of Prem Purnima, as taught by Master Kusum Modak, with MI’s certification, affiliation, and official MI Manual. Purnima was extensively trained in Kusum Modak Method both in her native Brazil and in India, where she was directly trained by Master Kusum. Purnima has already dedicated 24 years of her life to this path.

Kusum Modak Method – Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Therapy is a unique bodywork technique that combines ancient Indian massage with stretches inspired by Iyengar Yoga.

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 physical or emotional pain. Furthermore, it helps return the body and mind to their natural equilibrium and well-being.
