Learn the Art of Self Abhyanga a traditional Ayurvedic Oil Massage
This practice is one of Prema’s favourite tools for resourcing and regulating. She was taught 5 years ago by her friend and mentor Dylan at Vital Veda (a traditional technique from the renowned Ayurvedic Vaidya Raju Family). Since then, she has made Abhyanga one of her foundational daily practices and has taught many friends over the years. This workshop has come through demand and this winter its a perfect time to experience the fruits of this ancient Indian practice. Prema highly recommends this practice to anyone wanting to bring more grounding and nourishment into their life. Its very supportive for women at all stages of their life, particularly postpartum. (its contraindicated during your bleed, the first trimester of pregnancy and 32-36 weeks of gestation.)
