Ayurveda Massage Therapy at Ahaspokuna

Sri Lanka is world famous for its original, age-old Ayurveda practice. It’s very different and independent from our neighbouring country – India. Over 5000 years of empirical research by various practitioners has refined Ayurveda Massages into a sublime art, and yet it is still unheard of by many. However, combining skilled knowledge of the body with knowledge of oils, music, and bodywork techniques, has resulted in a profound art for balancing the body and mind through the medium of oil massages. This therapy takes account of your whole being and lifestyle, with a completely holistic approach for harmonised change to improve health and wellbeing. The word itself is derived from two Sanskrit words: Ayu (meaning life) and Veda (meaning knowledge). This science focuses on living life naturally and in balance.

An oil massage is consistently used throughout Ayurveda Massage Treatments. Its calm approach means that recipients are not only induced into a relaxed state during the massage, they also often report an improvement in their sleep patterns, their general sense of wellbeing, and the eradication of the effects that everyday stresses and strains can have on our minds and bodies.

At Ahaspokuna, we are happy to arrange a professional Ayurveda Therapist for massage therapy at a pre-booked time. This is ideal following an adventurous bushwalk or an intense yoga session.
