Abhyanga: Self-Massage Bliss

Online Class

Location: Zoom

Presented by Chantal Boyer of Bonjour Bellie Ayurveda

Abhyanga is a rejuvenating full-body massage using warm herbalized oils. It’s one of the best ways to restore balance to our prana (life force energy), and is effective in stimulating and strengthening the lymphatic system, calming the nervous system, enhancing blood flow, strengthening the immune system, and so much more. In this class we’ll discuss the benefits of abhyanga and then dive into a guided how-to. Bring a towel to sit on, some warm oil, and wear clothes or a bathing suit that you wouldn’t mind getting oil on. Recommended oils: Coconut or sunflower oil are inherently cooling and a great choice during late spring, summer, and early fall as well as for those with more heat in their system. Sesame or almond oil are inherently warming and a great choice during late fall, winter, and early spring as well as for those with more coldness in their system.
