Our new Ayurveda Massage services will be customized to fit your unique personality type. Read on for more!

I’m betting some of you are absolutely thrilled we’ve added amazing new holistic massage services to our menu of services.

 

For the rest of you who may have heard the word Ayurveda mentioned by friends, colleagues, or even at your yoga studio – but have yet to figure out what it means – that’s what we’re here for! Nearly our entire team of Massage Therapists have been trained in this technique and now know the ins and outs. We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the concept and help you understand how it ties into the new services now offered at PENZONE Salons + Spas.

 

Ayruveda A·yur·ve·da

• Ayurveda is a traditional Hindu system of medicine, which is based on the idea of balance in bodily systems and uses diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing.

Now, back to what this means for you. Each of us has a unique physical and mental constitution — a different energy — a different personality. Our new massage services are grounded in traditional Ayurvedic thinking and balance the mind/body connection.

 

Without getting too far out there, each of us has a dosha. Doshas express patterns of energy that includes our physical, emotional and mental characteristics. If you take a little read below, you’re likely to find a dosha that you relate to the most.

• Vata – If you’re a Vata type, you’re creative, you’re excitable and you’re easy going with change. Schedules aren’t really your thing. Your sleep habits change each night and you skip meals. You likely love summer and may have skin that’s usually cold or dry.
• Pitta– Pittas are organized, you live by your calendar. You’re a good leader and have no trouble taking command of a situation if you feel you should. You may have reddish or yellowish skin that’s prone to sunburn. Fall temperatures are most likely your favorite, too.
• Kapha– Kaphas are hard workers but often find it difficult to get started with a task. You LOVE sleep. Eight to ten hours is a minimum for you and it takes you a long while to get moving in the morning. You prefer moderate weather.

 

Do you find yourself relating to one dosha over the next? Or, maybe you find aspects of a few doshas that makeup the uniqueness that is you?

That’s where our new massage services come into play. Based on your personality type, our new Ayurveda Massage services will to appeal to that personality.

Through warm sesame oil, aromatherapy and varying massage strokes relating back to those doshas, your body will be calmed and your mind at peace. Your dosha’s balance will be restored, your well-being enhanced, and you’ll feel both grounded and relaxed after receiving one of our new services.
