ABHYANGA is Ayurveda's traditional full body massage with a herbal infused medicated oil. This session is 90 minutes. A dosha specific oil will be selected by the Ayurvedic Practitioner based on the individuals body-mind constitution. As a result, Abhyanga can correct Dosha imbalances due to diet, lifestyle or environmental factors.

Abhyanga activates and increases the energy flow inside the Nadis (energy channels), which are part of the subtle aspects of the body, related to the meridians. Abhyanga massage has an effect on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of an individual. With the skin being the gateway to the inner realm of our physical existence, these dosha specific oils are used to remove Ama (toxins, impurities) deeply seated in the bodily tissues.

Your session will begin with a Shirodasa treatment. Warm oil is gently poured in the centre of the forehead (location of the third eye) in a rhythmic, steady stream. The pressure created meticulously on the third eye point rejuvenates the pineal glad and as a result increases the efficiency of the brain. The treatment begins with a traditional Indian head massage to sensitise the nerve endings on the skull. Shirodhara is a blissful therapy beneficial for sleep disorders, stress relief, headaches, depression and anxiety.

All our treatments are conducted in silence to facilitate an inwards journey of bliss.
