SELF-ABHYANGA & OIL THERAPIES WORKSHOP

Service Description

Explore Ayurvedic Oil Therapies for vitality, immunity & longevity ~ OJAS ​ Ayurveda emphasises snehana (warm oil application) as essential for health: calms the nervous system, helps to moisturise, lubricate and gently remove toxins.  ​ Why You’d 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, or doshas.  ​ The oil therapies we will explore 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. These rituals offer a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. In the quiet, intentional act of oiling and massaging, you cultivate presence (calming the vata dosha a big time!), self-connection, and a daily rhythm. This is a time-tested path to balance, rejuvenation, and longevity.    This workshop is for you if you want to: Reverse depletion and build vitality & immunity (ojas) Calm and regulate your nervous system Improve the quality of your sleep Strengthen your digestive fire (agni) Support your senses and brain function Prevent aches, joint, and muscle issues Enhance natural detoxification and digestion Cultivate a ritual that deepens your connection to yourself ​​ Investment: 3-hour workshop with tea and a small gift included – £45
