This seven-position therapy will treat the whole body physically, mentally and emotionally while balancing the doshas.

This stimulating treatment increases blood circulation, which in turn encourages quick removal of metabolic wastes, while providing relief to diseases such as anxiety, fatigue, circulatory disorders, arthritic problems, backaches and injuries.
