Abhyanga
Full Body Abhyanga
Ahbyanga means massage in sanskrit. I offer two types of abhyanga full body massage each offering a different purpose.
​
Abhyanga for detox
This traditional ayurvedic massage is used to restore help the body process and eliminate waste products by stimulating flow of energy, circulation and lymph towards the core of the body.
​
Flowing massage is used to stimulate circulation with circular movements to clear energy blockages in the joints and flowing upward motion for the limbs leaving you feeling revitilsed and re-energised.
​
Specially selected organic oils are warmed and used to massage muscles. In abhyanga, your constitution can be taken into consideration to select the perfect oil for you (read more here)
​
Steam towels are used to open your pores allowing your specially chosen oils to nourish your skin. After your massage, heated towels are wrapped around you to capture the nurturing warmth whilst you relax and take in your Ayurvedic experience.
​
This massage can be complimented by the use of herbal potali pouches - read more about this here

90 minutes - £85
​
Abhyanga for Balancing
Taking into account your unique constitution and any imbalance you may be experiencing, special balancing medicated herbal oils will be chosen for your treatment. After application of warm oil to the body, traditional massage techniques of effleurage, kneading, tapping, cupping, shaking and rubbing are combined to work into tension in each area of the body.
​
After the massage, points of vital life force energy, known as marma points are stimulated. These marma points are thought to be linked to major organs, systems and parts of our physical and emotional selves. Stimulating the points is thought to clear blockages and bring balance to your body and mind.
​
The treatment can be complimented by the use of pinda sweda - read more about this here
