Ayurvedic Abhyanga Massage

A practice of receiving, listening and returning to the body.

Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage using warm oil and broad, continuous and rhythmic movements.

At Spanda, we understand it as a practice of care, presence and body awareness. It is not about correcting or transforming the body, but about creating a space to slow down, feel and receive.

What can it offer me?

Every experience is different, but Abhyanga may be for you if you need to:

  • Relax and rest your body and mind.
  • Reconnect with and feel your body.
  • Ease the sensation of physical tension.
  • Experience comfort and softness in your skin.
  • Create a space of pause from the rhythm of everyday life.

Abhyanga is a gentle practice that offers a space for physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing.

What is a session like?

We begin with a brief conversation to understand how you are arriving at the session and adapt the practice to your needs.

The massage is performed with warm oil, using fluid movements and pressure adapted to each body. We do not seek to cause pain or force any bodily response.

The session ends with some time to integrate the experience and gradually return to the rhythm of everyday life.

Contraindications and precautions

Abhyanga may not be appropriate in situations such as:

  • Fever or acute infection.
  • Open wounds, burns or recent injuries.
  • Acute inflammation.
  • Certain skin conditions.
  • Thrombosis or suspected thrombosis.
  • Significant blood-clotting disorders or use of anticoagulant medication.
  • Certain situations during pregnancy.

If you have a chronic health condition, have recently undergone surgery, are undergoing medical treatment, or have any doubts about whether massage is appropriate for you, please contact us before booking.

Abhyanga is a complementary practice for wellbeing and body care. It does not replace medical or psychological care.

Receiving is also a practice.
