Ayurvedic Massage

This style of massage can be very intense and invigorating. A blend of medicinal oils are used, these oils provide more than just lubrication as they soak through the skin confer their healing qualities on the body. In ayurvedic massage particular attention is paid to the the energetic points of the body known as marman, ( the ancients believed that damage to the marman points was likely to hasten ones demise and conversely nurturing could increase longevity )

During the massage you may be assisted into yoga like postures and hence derive some of the benefits thereof.

A massage lasts 45 minutes to an hour it is recommended not to wash bathe directly after the massage in order to allow the oils to take effect.
