Ayurvedic Bodywork

Abhyanga

90 minutes, $120

More than a massage, Abhyanga is a ceremonial experience. Warm herbalized oil is poured all over the body from head to toe, and worked into the skin using long, deep stokes, with targeted attention to problem areas. Therapeutic grade essential oils are applied to select marma points, and nasya (oil treatment for the nose) and karna purana (oil treatment for the ears) are also a part of this heavenly treatment.

Enjoy a therapeutic steam treatment following your massage, with additional option to shower.
