Relaxing and nourishing massage stimulates blood circulation and fills one with renewed vigour in body and mind.
• PAVANI – Cleansing, 2 HRS Since ancient times, Vedic verses have been chanted to purify the atmosphere. Shodhana treatment evokes enhanced cleansing of the mind, body and spirit leading to internal and external purity. Garshana: an exfoliation using silk gloves stimulates the circulation of blood, lymph and energy, eliminating impurities.
