Ayurveda at Kailasam
… rejuvenate the body and the mind. Look and feel ten years younger!
What is ayurveda?
Ayurveda ‘the science of life’ is the traditional healing system of India. It is a holistic and completely natural approach, over 5000 years old, using plants and herbs, specially blended oils and herbal medicines.
Ayurvedic lore has been passed down through families, for countless
generations, and although colleges now teach ayurveda, much of the knowledge
and skill is available only to traditional practitioners.
At Kailasam, we provide massage and applications of herbs and oil to the body as the ideal complementary therapy for yoga. Many people find that two or three massages relieves stiffness, increases flexibility, and improves posture work.
The ayurvedic centre at Kailasam is run by Mohan. He specialises in traditional Kerala massage, using the foot, and in massage and manipulations to relieve back, joint and muscle pain – often caused by past injuries or accidents.
Treatments are also available to relax the stressed or worrying mind,
cleanse the body of toxins, strengthen the immune system and revitalise
the body to perfect health.
What does it cost?
Price depends on the length of each treatment and how many are required. Many conditions will respond to three of four treatments, sometimes less. As a general guide, one full body massage is approximately £9 - 10. During a two week yoga holiday, you can benefit from mohan's special detox and purification programme of treatments, which will cost about £115 - excellent value.
Who can benefit?
Ayurveda can be enjoyed by anyone – even if there’s ‘nothing
wrong with you’! Ayurvedic treatments are excellent for enhancing
health, helping you to relax and dissolve the stresses and strains of
modern life.
They are extremely effective for back, neck and joint pain, stress, trapped
nerves, poor circulation, stiff joints and tension.
The treatments will help virtually any physical dis-ease by balancing
the energies and rejuvenating the body, normalising weight, boosting
the immune system and the body’s own natural healing mechanisms.
“Abracadabra! Your gift of healing has done so much more for me than Western medicine. After 12 years of neck and low back problems following a cycling accident, I am delighted that you have sorted me out with your treatments. I wish I could bottle your massage and take it home with me. Thank you does not say enough, but I’ll say it anyway – thank you! Life changing!” Jo, Devon
“Really enjoyed the massages. Now feel 52 years young!” Mark, Hampshire
“Many, many thanks for succeeding where other ‘therapists’ failed. My shoulder is great and my yoga practice is going great. I can now practice shoulderstand with ease.” Elma, Co. Kildare
