Kusum Modak Method Training Modak Institute Certificate & Level 3 Diploma UK

Description

About the technique:

The Kusum Modak Method, previously referred to as Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM),

Traditional Ayurvedic Massage, or simply Ayurvedic Massage, is now named in honor

of its creator. This change was introduced with the establishment of the Modak

Institute, founded by Kusum Modak to preserve her legacy with integrity and

authenticity for future generations.

This contemporary method combines traditional Ayurvedic Massage with Yoga,

developed through Kusum Modak’s studies with her teachers, Limaye and B. K. S.

Iyengar, in Pune, India.

The therapy focuses on activating breath, circulation, and vital energy through deep

touch using hands and feet, along with tractions and stretching maneuvers.

Treatments are conducted on an orthopedic mat using vegetable oil and a natural

powder called Vekhand, derived from a root known in the West as Calamus.
