Ayurvedic Massage: How it Differs

For those of you who are already acquainted with Ayurveda and its good friend massage, your answer to this question may be “It just does”. You can’t explain how or why, it just does. So, to try and pinpoint the hows and whys a little better for those who are yet to sample the pure delights of Ayurvedic massage, here are some brief (but first-hand) descriptions of three different massage types:   Swedish Massage A Swedish massage is great as a general body massage – you know what to expect as it’s a widely practised massage type and so will probably be similar to ones you’ve had before.

Treatment Room Tears

During the early hours of Saturday morning we sadly lost our beloved Charaka treatment room to an electrical fire stemming from a neighbouring building. Luckily, the internal door was closed and so the fire didn’t spread any further, but the damage caused to Charaka was extensive enough to make it now unrecognisable. Named after one of the principal founders of Ayurveda, Charaka was our flagship treatment room at the rear of the spa.

Break The Mould This Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day… a celebration of love. Or that’s what its historical intention was, at least.

There is one theme that appears to dominate far and wide, though, and that is the fact that Valentine’s Day ultimately seems to be all about the female.

Website Woes

As you may have noticed, our beloved website has been a tad temperamental over the last few weeks, so we would like to take this opportunity to apologise on its behalf. The issues experienced have now been resolved but we will be moving the site to a new home in the not too distant future. This may, unfortunately, cause some further low-level, short-term disruption, but once completed we will be able to offer you a faster, better-behaved browsing experience. Apologies once again and thank you for bearing with us during this turbulent time. The Ayurveda Retreat Team
