Gems, Stones, and Colors in Your Life

Express Yourself Carnival Style
Come with mask and/or costume and story. How have festivities influenced our lives? How essential is music, rhythm and dance to human existence? How can the goal of a future Samadhi, Nirvana and Liberation prevent us from living fully in the present?
Flow, dance, and refresh the mind… experience a meditative mind.

Spring Forward with Focus
Bring journal and coloured pens or pencils. Honour the milestone of another Spring. Where are you now? Where do you want to go? Review and experience desires, goals, dreams and let a choice of yogic techniques help you.

Spa treatments

Abhyanga Massage – $75
Abhyanga is performed using a special sequence of stokes which promote the absorption of warm herbalized oil deep into the bodily tissues. This procedure loosens impurities, revitalizes the skin and tissues, and promotes balance in the whole physiology. Depending on your constitution this massage is vigorous or gentle; oily or dry powder application. This helps the toxin to move towards the gastro-intestinal track and eventually eliminated from the body.

Shirodhara – $65
Shirodhara is a very relaxing treatment that helps with headaches, insomnia, nervous disorders, anxiety, hypertension and mental fatigue. Special herbs and oils that compliment your constitution are heated in a copper vessel that will be placed 6” above your head. The oil will stream over your forehead for about 20 mins. Followed by a massaging your face, head and shoulders.

Indian Head Massage – $40

Indian Head Massage is renowned as an antidote to stress. It promotes blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to the upper part of the body, promoting hair growth, as well as relieving eyestrain, headaches, sinusitis and insomnia. It aids clear thinking and increases concentration levels, as it works on the subtle energy matrix, the Chakra/Nadi/Prana/Marma grid.

Nasya - $40

Nasya helps to keep the patients eyes, ears and nose impaired. Helps alleviate headaches, facial paralysis, hemophilia, disease of the nose, frozen shoulder, sinusitis, mental disorders, Parkinsonism disease, skin complaints, head diseases and will prevent the early aging process. Patient lies down on their back. Oils are administered in one nostril while the other nostril is closed and vice versa. Then the soles, shoulders, neck, ears and palms are gently massaged

Reiki - $65

Reiki is a Japanese technique of stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is administered by “lying of the hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us. Reiki is made up of two words Rei, which means “God’s Wisdom or Higher Power”, and Ki, which means “life force energy.” So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
