Some of our treatments

Marma Abhyanga

Marma Abhyanga a warm oil massage that is quite different from the Western notion of massage. With Abhyanga the aim is to push the oil into the pores of the skin with long strokes on the long bones and circular motions on the joints. During Abhyanga energy points (Marma) are stimulated, which is a powerful way of clearing energetic blockages.

Shirodhara

Shirodhara is the systematic, continual pouring of warm oil back and forth across the forehead. Shirodhara can have profound effects on relaxation and is an excellent stress reliever and Vata reducer.

Padabhyanga

The feet are massaged with warm oil to stimulate circulation, improve lymphatic drainage and balance the body. There is a saying in Ayurveda that whoever massages their feet every day, will never fall ill. During the Padaabyanga, special attention is paid to the Marma (energy) points of the feet and lower leg to balance the body. A foot massage is also helpful in aiding a good night's rest.
