Ayurvedic Massage for Different Body Types

Personalized Healing Through Touch

Ayurvedic massage, known as 'Abhyanga,' is a holistic healing practice integral to the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda. Unlike standard massages, an Ayurvedic massage is tailored to your unique body type or Dosha - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. By addressing the specific needs of each Dosha, Abhyanga provides a deeply therapeutic and rejuvenating experience.

Understanding the Doshas

1. Vata (Air & Space): Characterized by qualities like dry, light, cold, and mobile. Vata governs movement in the body and mind.

2. Pitta (Fire & Water): Exhibits attributes such as hot, sharp, and liquid. Pitta oversees digestion and transformation in the body.

3. Kapha (Earth & Water): Known for being heavy, slow, cool, and oily, Kapha provides structure and lubrication.

Massage Techniques for Each Dosha

1. Vata-Balancing Massage:
   

   • Focus: Deeply nourishing and grounding

   • Techniques: Slow, steady, and warming massage strokes that calm the nervous system

   • Oils: Warm, heavy oils like sesame are used to counteract the dry and rough qualities of Vata

1. Pitta-Balancing Massage:
   

   • Focus: Cooling and soothing

   • Techniques: Moderate-paced strokes with gentle pressure to avoid overheating

   • Oils: Cooling oils such as coconut or sunflower to soothe the intense nature of Pitta
