A two-therapist warm-oil massage worked in synchrony across the whole body, traditionally given before sunrise. The oils are chosen for your dosha after consultation — warming and grounding for vata, cooling for pitta, light and stimulating for kapha.

More than relaxation, abhyanga is considered daily medicine in Ayurveda: it moves lymph, settles the nervous system, and prepares the body to receive deeper therapies later in a programme.
