Ayurvedic ritualsWellnessShirodharaThis unique ayurvedic treatment is always done in conjunction with a body massage. After the massage, warm herbal oil is gently, steadily, poured on the forehead. The pouring of oil is accompanied by a tender scalp massage. Shirodhara is done in absolute silence. 120 minutes – USD 260.00 ElakkizhiFor elakkizhi – “a poultice of leaves” – various medicinal leaves, herbal powders and spices are cooked in herbal oils and packed in bundles. The treatment starts with a body massage using herbal oils suitable for the individual's skin. The bundles are then heated and applied to the surface of the body by two therapists working in perfect coordination. 120 minutes – USD 240.00 NavarakkizhiNavarakkizhi means “a poultice of rice.” Navara rice has long been used in ayurvedic therapies for its nutritional significance. It is first cooked in milk and a herbal decoction. The cooked rice is then gathered into balls and tied up in linen bags. The treatment begins with a body massage using herbal oils appropriate to the individual's skin, followed by application of the warm rice poultices by two therapists. 120 minutes – USD 260.00 Kati vastiThis highly therapeutic experience designed to alleviate back pain or sciatica may be added to any of our ayurvedic treatments. A hollow reservoir made of gram dough is positioned on your lower back. Warm medicated oil is slowly poured into it, and remains on your back for 20 minutes. 30 minutes – USD 50.00 Mukha lepaThis organic ayurvedic facial uses fruit and other natural products carefully selected by your therapist to suit your skin type and dosha and prepared by hand especially for you. 60 minutes – USD 110.00 Siddha tantricOmkaara – kundalini ritual for couplesTake your relationship to divine heights. The centrepiece of this hypnotic and sensuous ritual is the kundalini massage. Delivered by a pair of male and female tantric therapists in a series of dance-like movements and melodic strokes, the massage harnesses the shiva (male) and shakti (female) energies to awaken the kundalini – the “coiled serpent” at the base of the spine, which is believed to be a dormant yet powerful life-force energy that holds the key to higher consciousness. 180 minutes – USD 690.00 Devi bhavani – ritual for womenEach woman has within her the power and potency to create new life. She possesses the energy of beauty, delight and creativity. The transformative energy of devi bhavani (divine mother) moves and flows as soothing wind and calming water, bringing about positive, life-affirming transformations wherever she goes. Delivered by two female tantric therapists, the devi bhavani ritual nourishes and replenishes the female energy with mantras, sacred songs and healing sounds, and nurtures the body with a tender, revitalising massage. 150 minutes – USD 340.00 Ananga – ojas and atma ritual for menIn its purest form, male energy is both dynamic and transcendent. This duality is reflected in the ojas (vitality) and atma (spirit) ritual. Vigorous and expressive, the techniques used in this treatment require both strength and spiritual concentration on the part of the two male tantric therapists delivering the treatment. Their synchronised and balanced movements invigorate the body by increasing body heat and vitality to flush toxins out of the system. Meditative and soulful, the experience also uplifts the spirit by taking it on a contemplative journey. 150 minutes – USD 340.00 ImmersionsPunarnavRevitalise with our punarnav ritual, which combines the majestic legacies of ayurveda and yoga.
