Benefits...

​

Abhyanga is a traditional practice within the Ayurvedic daily routine (Dinacharya), valued for supporting balance, nourishment, and long-term wellbeing. Through warm herbal oils and structured techniques, it is traditionally used to stimulate the skin, circulation, lymphatic flow, and support overall nervous system regulation.

​

This workshop explores how to transform self-care into an embodied daily ritual that supports grounding, awareness, and regulation through touch.

​

Who is this suitable for..?

This workshop is open to all. A respectful and comfortable environment will be maintained throughout, with clear guidance to ensure all participants feel at ease and supported, including considerations of modesty.​​​​
