Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is performed on the floor, on a tatami or yoga mat, using vegetable oils and powder from the Indian root acorus calamus (also known as calamus). The technique includes sliding, kneading, rubbing and pressing with the hands and feet , which stimulates circulation, warms up the muscles and joints of the body, preparing it for the bends, twists, pulls and stretches based on the asanas (yoga postures) . In addition, it improves breathing, blood circulation and vitality, providing rebalancing of the body.

This is a vigorous and therapeutic massage, performed with slow, rhythmic and deep touches, which requires concentration from both the therapist and the patient. In each session, some stretching maneuvers are performed, chosen according to the patient's needs. Some help to make the spine more flexible, others open the chest or stretch the arms and legs. The effects of these maneuvers are enhanced by the patient's slow and deep breathing, which allows for greater oxygenation of the cells and, consequently, muscle relaxation. The patient is induced by the therapist to inhale and exhale at precise moments, facilitating the range of movement and stretching.
