Ayurvedic Massage

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda was created in India for more than 5,000 years ago and has been the oldest medical science of the world. AYURVEDA means “the science of healthful life”. Unlike the traditional medicine, the Ayurveda works focusing in the health, recovering the causes of the diseases and not only its symptoms.

The five elements are the base of the Ayurveda: EARTH – WATER – AIR – FIRE – SPACE
Each element has your own vibration. According to the combination of these elements, the three forces that govern all the nature are born: vata, pitta and kapha.

In each body these three forces exist and following its proportion, the dominant one determines the physical and emotional structure of the person. When this proportion is unbalanced the disease appears.

The objective of the Ayurveda is to restore the balance between vata, pitta and kapha of each person. This balance depends of the digestive process that is the base of our health.

The Ayurvedic Massage

Originated in India, the Ayurvedic Massage uses different techniques of a deep relaxation for each type of personality. It acts in body to relax the mind and to balance the emotions.
According to the constitution of each person we manipulate all the body or a specific area of the body, by using personalized manipulations, techniques and aromatic oils.
This massage is indicated for all people. Although it can treat specific problems, the massage acts also preventing diseases.

There are diverse techniques of massage within the Ayurveda, which can be combined in a unique session:

YÓGUIC MASSAJE: skeletal and muscular manipulation. It acts at physical level, relieving rigidities and muscular tensions.

CLASSICAL ABHYANGAM: Manipulations with essential oils that eliminate the physical fatigue and muscular pains relax the mind and activate the circulation.

I have started my career as a classic dancing in Brazil when I was 8 years old. I have worked giving classes of dance and body conscience for children and adults, so I could get a deep know-how about body needs.

As a Japanese descendant, I was interested in self-development therapies, conciliating my knowledge of the body to the massage techniques, breathing, meditation, self-knowledge and relaxation.

Graduated in “Coach of Shri Vivek Yoga and Ayurvedic Massage” under the guide of the realized Master Shri Guru Swamiji Vivekananda (India) trough his direct disciple Yogui Jivan Vismay (Barcelona).

As a coach, I have the principle of which I can transmit just what I alive, that means my personal experience. For that reason my work reflects the life style that I take.

I give classes of Shri Vivek Integral Yoga (“Yoga with Intelligence”), intensive workshops of Yoga-Ayurveda, yoga classes for children and coordinate the Project “Ananda Companies”, which offers modules for Stress Management in the workplace.

I am graduated in Business Administration, post graduated in Environment Management and Corporate Communications. After more than 12 years working as executive in multinational companies, my personal experience with the Shri Vivek Yoga took to me to understand that the quality of the health is the base to enjoy of a more alive life.
