Our 2-day training modules can be taken individually or as part of our 300 hour therapist training. They are tailored to the group, which may include some revision and knowledge building of previous modules. Therefore they are best attended in sequence.

If this is not possible then module 1, is the only prerequisite for the rest of the training, though modules 1 and 2 are ideal. You can attend as many individual modules as you suits your needs. Some of these may include: 

  • As part of your CPD. If you have already trained in other therapeutic modalities, including as a yoga teacher, and would like to add some AYM techniques to your existing practice.
  • To learn some AYM techniques and offer some treatments, but you are not planning to be a full time therapist in the near future. 
  • As part of your AYM CPD. If you are fully qualified AYM therapist and wish to deepen your learning, we can also offer you a discount. 
  • To dip your toes into the AYM technique and see if it is really for you before committing to a 300-hour training.


Here's what you'll get:

12 in person class contact hours (see syllabus below), 12 months access to our online module 5 technique videos, module 5 course manual inserts, 1 certificate, unlimited access to online mentorship, available through a group chat and weekly group video calls throughout the course, so you can  ask questions and get motivation and support.

Module 5: Front of the body massage, thinking about tailored treatment plans

The all-important abdomen work and front of the hips and legs. We continue to discuss common patterns, pains, pathologies and injuries of the lumbar, abdomen, hips and legs; how AYM techniques can help, and of course, what is contra-indicated in each case. By this stage, most of our course participants have a lot of techniques to choose from in their treatments, so we start discussing how we can investigate which techniques would be most beneficial for each client, and design and carry out personalised treatments.

These techniques are wonderful to use on their own as a complete treatment with a focus on abdomen, front of the hips and legs. Or they can be integrated into a full body treatment.

How clients will benefit: the abdomen work is one of Despina’s personal favourites, as it is incredibly powerful and we often see dramatic results with this work. Clients usually feel significant physical, emotional and mental benefits. We can help to release back pains, and any pains that have to do with health conditions of the digestive system, and the reproductive system in women. Mentally, clients say that they feel clear-headed after this treatment, particularly if they had been experiencing brain fog before. Clients tend to feel feel deeply relaxed, warm, safe.

Working on personalising treatment plans for clients can also be hugely beneficial for our clients. We can all go back to basics here, whether we are beginners or experienced therapists. It’s good to check ourselves now and then, deepen our critical thinking about what to prioritise during a treatment. It helps develop our creativity, active listening skills and connection to the client (rather than giving what we would like to receive), and it helps to avoid feeling stagnant, and like our treatments are becoming repetitive.
