AYURVEDIC RETREAT
A Traditional Approach to Healing and Well-Being
Ayurvedic Full-Body Massage – also known as Abhyanga or Uzhichil – is considered the “Mother of All Massages” in traditional Indian medicine. This therapeutic massage is designed not only to relax but to detoxify, restore balance, and rejuvenate the mind-body system at a cellular level.
At Retreat PRANIKA, located in the tranquil Dublin Ranch, California, this ancient healing ritual is administered by expert therapists using warm, herbal oils tailored to your dosha.
