Long before self-care became a buzzword, Ayurveda recognised daily oil massage — abhyanga — as a foundational practice for vitality, resilience, and nervous system health.

In this two-hour workshop, you’ll be introduced to the art of self-abhyanga: a simple, rhythmic self-massage practice designed to support lymphatic flow, nourish the tissues, and calm the body from the inside out. This is ancient wisdom, translated into a form that fits modern life — no overwhelm, no mysticism required.

Through guided learning and experiential exploration, you’ll discover how gentle daily massage helps counter the effects of stress, dryness, stagnation, and depletion, leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and more regulated in your body.

This session blends Ayurvedic theory with practical application, so you don’t just learn about self-abhyanga — you leave knowing how to practise it in a way that’s sustainable and realistic.
