ShivaShakti is pleased to offer Ayurvedic Body Treatments!

Ayurveda, ‘Science of Life’, is the sister to the art and science of Yoga. Based upon the natural rhythms of the earth Ayurveda focuses upon the cause of imbalance (often called disease) in the body and the mind. In Ayurveda the composition of the body and mind is known as the dosha or biological humor. There are three doshas:  Vata (air), Pitta (fire) or Kapha (water). The Ayurvedic bodyworker assesses the clients’ mental and physical state. Depending upon the clients’ current imbalance the therapist will then administer the doshic specific therapy that will support balance in the individual.

SHIRODHARA is a rejuvenation therapy that utilizes warm herbalized oil poured in a gentle stream over the forehead. This therapy assists by synchronizing the hemispheres of the brain, by balancing the waves of the mind and by relaxing the nervous system. Shirodhara is a subtle, yet profound experience.

VISHESH is an invigorating deep, flow massage that utilizes medicated oils specific to the clients’ current doshic imbalance. The rhythmic treatment encourages lymphatic flow and full body circulation of the blood and tissue.

SHIRO ABHYANGA NASYA A head neck and shoulder massage, followed by deep inhalation of aromatic steam and herbalized nose drops.
