The AYM Pregnancy Masterclass is a specialised adaptation of the Ayurvedic Yoga Massage method for pregnancy. It teaches how to adjust the AYM protocol with efficiency, sensitivity, and safety, in response to the anatomical, postural, and physiological changes that arise during this important period.
Rather than applying the standard method unchanged, this Masterclass explores how to work appropriately according to the stage of pregnancy, the mother’s comfort, and the material available. It includes adapted work in prone and side-lying positions, seated work, more moderate pressure, and a clear precaution-based approach. Particular attention is given to relieving common tensions linked to pregnancy, supporting circulation and lymphatic flow, and creating greater ease in the back, shoulders, abdomen, diaphragm, and legs.
