Abhyanga
Ayurvedic Oil Massage
Abhyanga is both a rejuvenating and relaxing Traditional Ayurvedic full body massage incorporating medicated oils (organic) specific to your unique constitution and the season.
Benefits:
stimulate and strengthen the lymphatic system
improve immunity and increase stamina
enhance blood circulation
calm the nervous system and mind
activate the body’s marma points (vital points that house energy and concentrated life force)
promote flexibility of the muscles, tissues and joints
promote softness and lustre of the skin as well as youthfulness
correct injuries, specifically the muscle and bone tissue
regenerate and build tissues
enhance positive microbiology in your body (your skin is home to massive colonies of microbes)
detox as the medicated oil and specific methods drives the toxins from the deeper connective tissues back to the gastrointestinal tract for proper elimination. This is why after a massage you must rest and frequently sip hot water.
Increase oxytocin - the loving, bonding and anti-anxiety hormone
Abhyanga Process
This Ayurvedic treatment begins by doing a massage of the head, including neck and shoulders, to stimulate the central nervous system and prepare the whole body for the healing experience to come. This is followed by a full body massage with strokes selected and applied in a vigorous and rhythmic matter according to the client's constitution and imbalances.

ॐ नमामि धन्वन्तरिम् आदि-देवं सुरासुरैर्वन्दित-पादपद्मम् ।
लोके जरा-रुक्-भय-मृत्यु-नाशं धातारमीशं विविधौषधीनाम्॥
oṃ namāmi dhanvantarim
ādi-devaṃ surāsurairvandita-pādapadmam ।
loke jarā-ruk-bhaya-mṛtyu-nāśaṃ
dhātāramīśaṃ vividhauṣadhīnām॥
Client Testimonials
-
“Receiving Abhyanga from Prema was a truly grounding experience for my entire being. Prema’s healing hands weave ritual and bodywork seamlessly together whilst her energy cultivates a space of deep love and presence that allows the whole body to drop in and receive fully. The massage leaves me clearer and lighter every time, working on so many levels to release toxins and restore balance in my body. I highly recommend Prema to any one looking for recalibration and pure nourishment. Prema’s devotional bodywork offerings are all such a gift to anyone that receives from her.”
-
“I have received several Abhyanga treatments by Prema and they are the most nourishing way of self care. I have done Abhyanga for myself by myself quite a few times before but it doesn’t even come close to the experience I was having when being in Prema’s care. As well as nourishing my body it also has brought some beautiful energetic shifts and has helped to connect deeper to my heart.”

“Prema has such a grounded and kind healing presence. The Abhyanga massage was such a beautiful and nourishing experience. it was truly the Rolls Royce of bodywork. I felt so held and my nervous system felt able to rest during the treatment.”
