Ayurveda = Science of Life
Abhyanga Massage involves liberally covering the client in warm oil and then using smooth, gentle but firm movements to rub the oil deeply into the body from head to toe.
The massage is done in a soft rhythmic way with one or two therapists massaging at the same time for forty five to sixty minutes.
These massage techniques provide relaxation, circulation and elimination of toxins. If adopted as a daily practice, Ayurvedic massage techniques can even help to rejuvenate the body.
According to the principles of ayurveda, everyone has a specific body type known as a dosha. There are three doshas: pitta, kapha, and vata, and everyone has a specific balance of doshas which must be addressed in ayurvedic therapy.
