Esalen Style Bodywork

Esalen style bodywork is the ultimate stress buster. It was developed at the famous Esalen Institute, located on the Pacific Ocean in Southern California and home of so many new forms of body oriented therapies that were developed or fine-tuned in the 1960s and 70s, especially on the basis of the work of Fritz Perls, Wilhelm Reich, Ida Rolf and Milton Trager.

The therapist starts with head and face, which releases the key points where stress is stored. The body is then prepared to receive luxurious and soothing strokes. Overall, Esalen style bodywork unfolds at a slower and more meditative pace than for example Swedish style bodywork.

Special attention is given to lymphatic drainage, which helps to boost the immune system as well as the circulatory system.

“ "Dr Shikha, thank you for introducing me to your Soblime Detox program during my stay at Ashiyana. I am still feeling the positive effects several weeks later. The combination of Ozone therapy, foot baths, herbal supplements, and your personal meal plan for me, not only allowed me to lose a significant amount of weight, but I left Goa a firm believer in your detox program! Oh, I can’t forget to mention the “miracle cream” Kailash Jeevan. Not only did this cream help with my itching, but I have been using it twice a day and I swear my skin looks better, my wrinkles are disappearing, and the age spots on my hands are fading away!!! YAY!!!"
