Ayurveda Un-Oiled Workshop

Service Description

Explore Oil Therapies for Vitality, Immunity & Replenishment ~ OJAS Ayurveda emphasises snehana (warm oil application) as essential for health: calms vata, helps to moisturise, lubricate and remove toxins.  ​ Why You Would Want to Know These Practices? Life today can leave us feeling drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from our own bodies. Stress, long hours, rushing around, poor sleep, travel, and constant digital stimulation all contribute to our energy and vitality being depleted. Ayurveda teaches that much of this strain comes from the gradual loss of ojas, our vital essence, and imbalances in our natural energies (doshas).   The oil therapies you will explore and learn in this workshop are the antidote to everything mentioned above. Self-abhyanga (full-body massage), nasya (nasal oiling), gandusha (oil pulling), karna purana (ear oiling), nabhi chikitsa (navel oiling) and scalp and foot massage with marma points are far more than trendy wellness “bio-hacks.”  They are practical tools rooted in ancient wisdom to replenish your body and mind, deeply nourishing your tissues, calming your nervous system, and building resilience from the inside out.  Beyond the physical benefits, these practices support your senses and mind. Nasya and sculp massage help clear mental fog – which invites clarity and focus, support hair growth, and reduce fatigue, while oil pulling and abhyanga strengthen immunity, oral health, and overall vitality. Best of all, each practice can be personalised to your constitution, the seasons, and your current state, making this kind of self-care truly effective, sustainable and enjoyable. ​ What to expect on the day: This is a practical, hands-on workshop. You will have the opportunity to see, smell, and sample a variety of oils and Ayurvedic formulas, so you can experience how different oils feel and learn what may suit your body and the season. Some practices, such as abhyanga, will be demonstrated and lightly practised in a self-applied way (for example, oiling hands, arms, scalp, or feet). There is no full-body oiling required, unless you choose to keep undergarments on. You are always welcome to participate at your own comfort level.
