What to Know Before Getting an Ayurvedic Massage

What to Know Before Getting an Ayurvedic Massage

This week in Miami, Joe and I were able to enjoy the Lapis Spa at the Fontainebleau for a few hours.  Typically, when we get spa treatments on vacation, we always opt for deep tissue couples massages.  This time however, something else caught my eye on the spa menu and I'm glad I tried it.  After all, it is part of my job!  With an open mind and spiritual interest, I tried an Ayurvedic massage called Abhyanga, which is an ancient Indian massage therapy that uses a combination of oils according to your Dosha type in order to unblock your chakras and relieve stress.  Dosha? Chakras?  Allow me to explain.  Here's everything you should know before trying an Ayurvedic massage.
