Classic Abhyanga (Detoxing) Massage

An Abhyanga Massage is a choreographed warm herbal oil massage that is designed to bring sustenance to the tissues, deep relaxation to the muscles and calmness to the mind. Practitioners use rhythmic strokes and Pranic energy to stimulate and energize the subtle bodies and promote lymphatic drainage. Traditional Abhyanga Massage has always included extensive work on the breast area. This is done not only as a means to beautify the breast, but also to release toxins in the lymph system around the breast and is an optional part of the massage.

Padabhyanga massage includes hand techniques such as friction, knuckling and effleurage on the feet and the legs to stimulate blood and lymphatic flow.

If the flow of prana is sluggish or blocked, the inevitable outcome will be an absence of health (dis-ease) within the organism.
