Ayurvedic Abhyanga
Full Body Massage (60 or 90 minutes)
Ayurvedic medicine is the route of all massage treatments and literally translates as ‘life knowledge’. Ayurveda is about wellness all through our lives and not just when we pull a muscle or hurt ourselves.
During this full body massage the body is anointed with warm sesame oil and long flowing strokes from head to toe. Recently a client said that even though the touch was lighter than a deep tissue treatment it gave her body the chance to “breathe and all the aches she had been feeling in her shoulders went”.
