AYURVEDIC MASSAGE ABHYANGA COURSES IN MARBELLA
Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic full body massage. The massage is performed with rythmic movements (strokes with double palms) using warm ayurvedic oils and is a very relaxing and rejuvenating experience. At the same time it is a therapeutic treatment, balancing the Vata inbalance. Vata corresponds to the element air. The Vata inbalance is caused by stress, sedentary work and bad posture, insufficient breathing, overflow of information and excessive mental activity as well as by bad nutrition. In our society, due to our way of living, many people suffer from Vata inbalance.
