Abhyanga entails anointing the whole body with warm oil (including hair & scalp). The herbalised oils will help balance external influences, such as seasonal changes on the skin, to internal conditions like stress on the nervous system. This rhythmic treatment enhances blood circulation, while revitalizing dry and stagnant areas of the body.

Tandem massage is a traditional way of performing Abhyanga. It involves the same process as 2 handed Abhyanga (description above), yet can be even more nurturing to the nervous system. Although it is 75 minutes long, you are recieving 150 minutes of hands-on work with two people. You feel it by the end!

Basti means “to retain.” By building a dough dam, warm herbalised oil is retained on specific areas of the body. Similar to a compress, the oil has therapeutic benefits on physical and energetic levels.

Traditionally done on the lower back (“Kati basti”), this treatment offers a deeply nourishing musculoskeletal treatment to penetrate the tissue layers. Promotes circulation and cellular regeneration, great for: pain, swelling, spinal issues, and inflammation.

By building a basti on areas of the body associated with certain chakras, we can facilitate and encode deep nourishment in the nerves, organs, glands, emotions, and processes associated with particular chakras.
