Traditional Ayurvedic Full Body Massage
Massage for the body. Ayur Prana Ki care for the stress we carry within.
The body carries physical tension. The mind carries the pace of life. Our energy can feel the weight of both.
Work, screens, travel, family responsibilities, lack of sleep, mental workload, emotional strain and constant stimulation do not always show themselves only in the muscles. Some stress is immediate; other tension may become noticeable only when we finally stop.
This experience combines traditional Ayurvedic massage with warm herbal oils, Marma awareness, Reiki and Prana-focused energy work for physical relaxation and energetic stillness.

Traditional perspective
Beyond the Physical Body
Within traditional Yoga, Prana is described as moving through subtle pathways known as Nadis.
72,000 Nadis
Traditional Yogic teachings describe an extensive network of approximately 72,000 Nadis through which Prana is said to flow. These are understood within traditional Yogic philosophy as subtle-energy pathways, not anatomical structures.
This traditional understanding informs the Prana and energy-awareness aspect of an Ayur Chikitsa Abhyanga.
