Sesame Oil Shirodhara
Warm organic sesame oil is the most traditional shirodhara. It is most beneficial for Vata-types when the mind has been hyperactive, restless, anxious or forgetful. Shirodhara is the soothing flow of warm oil onto the brow to reduce anxiety and insomnia, calm over-activity, and help to relieve symptoms of depression and mental exhaustion. Shirodhara treatments contain a short amount of hands on touch and are primarily a non-contact treatment. Shirodhara is traditionally paired with Abhyanga massage.

Grounding Forest Pedicure
This calming seasonal feature begins with a Pea-Flower foot soak, followed by a leg and foot Ashwagandha exfoliation and a hydrating leg and foot massage with Ashwagandha Cream. Complete with meticulous nail care and polish or natural buff.

Vata Season
According to Ayurveda, the seasonal cycle of the year brings about a change in the
predominance of the Doshas in our bodies. This time of year, Autumn into early Winter, is
governed by Vata Dosha
Vata is the energy of Space and Air, mobility, subtlety, spaciousness, lightness and dryness.
This dosha governs mobility – whether it is in our joints and limbs, our nervous system, our
breathing and digestion, or the thoughts in our mind. Vata is responsible for the proper flow of
energy in our system, for ease of movement and for joy and creativity. When out of balance,
Vata can cause constipation, pain, lack of mobility, dryness, anxiety, insomnia and
nervous-system disorders.

Vata Lifestyle Tips
DIET
Vata’s digestion is the variable – you may find yourself hungry one day and not hungry the next,
and you may experience gas, bloating or constipation.
Enjoy a diet of mostly warm, soft, slightly heavy and oily foods, like sweet vegetables and fruit,
soups, curries and stews. Use warming spices, like ginger, pepper and cinnamon. Avoid cold,
light and dry foods and drinks. Be sure to enjoy your largest meal at lunchtime.
SELF-CARE
Vata types should prioritize routine, and be careful of chaotic and changeable lifestyle. Practice
self-massage and seated mindfulness practices. Take warm baths and avoid exposure to cold
weather.
SLEEP
Vata people tend to be light sleepers, and wake up easily during the night. Try massaging warm
sesame oil onto your feet and scalp before bedtime to help with grounding.
EXERCISE
Choose slow and steady exercise, like resistance training, walking or swimming. Warm up the
body and stay grounded by not moving too fast (i.e., biking, running)
