Ayurvedic Massage Course
Starts: 3-7 August 2012
In Ayurvedic massage natural herbal oils and powders are applied to the body using a variety of specific techniques. Oils and treatment methods are chosen especially to suit the client’s constitution and skin type in order to encourage deep healing and maintain vibrant health.
It shows us that the natural elements, such as the warmth and light of the sun, the air we breathe, and in particular mineral and plant substances, have an immense therapeutic value. Intelligent use of these gifts of nature, combined with a wholesome diet and a positive mindset, contribute to a healthy and fulfilling life.
The Ayurvedic Massage Course is held at our stunning woodland retreat centre in Snowdonia, North Wales.
