In the course, a practitioner will determine what kinds of activities and changes in lifestyle can best help restore balance. Includes detailed history intake, pulse and tongue analysis, diet and lifestyle evaluation.
Ayurvedic Body Treatments
A beautifully relaxing and luxurious full body treatment. Includes Abhyanga, a herbal oil massage; followed by Shirodhara, a soothing, steady stream of herbal oil poured on to the forehead directly over the third eye, calming and purifying the mind.
