2 Therapist Session
Traditionally, Ayurvedic bodywork is performed by two therapists working simultaneously on opposite sides of the body. The mirror-image motions of the rhythmic massage is an unparalleled experience of sensation and relaxation. The rhythmic motion of four hands over-whelms the mind with sensation and helps it to relax into a meditative state more quickly. For this reason two therapist treatments are always used during Pancha Karma retreats, but they also make a wonderful single treatment.

Vishesh 50 minute - $100

Thai Massage
Thai massage is an ancient healing art of traditional Thailand medicine. It is bodywork known for increasing flexibility, relaxation, and energy flow, and is based on the wholistic point of view that any problem is not simply an illness of a particular part, but rather a disorder of the whole. Through muscular and skeletal movement and pressure, energy flow can be stimulated and blockages released. Other benefits include increased range of motion, warmed tissues, and a stimulation of the flow of blood and lymph.
