Our Royal treatment is designed to maximize the benefits of hot, cold and warm water therapy together with Ayurvedic massage.

The treatment is a combination of 3 parts.

• We start with immersing ourselves in a Japanese style hot bath. After the body relaxes and tight muscles melt . we move to the cold plunge to stimulate blood flow and prepare the body for the warm water Wassage.
  The Wassage above and below the water lasts about 50 minutes, during which time you'll be relaxing while being held, cradled, massaged, stretched, flexed and rotated in the water.
• Immediately after the Wassage you will move again into our hot Japanese tub for about 10 minutes, where the heat “melts” your muscles and penetrates deep into your body, relaxing and softening your body's core. When your body is warm enough, you will “jump” into a cold tub again for just a few minutes, in order to “seal” the heat inside your body.
• Now that your body is floating is space we move to the 3rd part of the treatment, laying on a mattress inside one of our treatment rooms, where you'll receive a 50 minutes session of rejuvenating Seed Ayurvedic Massage. Now the body is soft, warm and relaxed, in the perfect state to receive deep body work.

The entire Royal Treatment is 90 minutes long. After the hands-on treatment we leave the recipient to rest on the mattress for 15 minutes, to feel the deeply relaxed state that the body is now experiencing. The Royal Treatment has numerous benefits such as de-stressing, detoxing, balancing the body/mind, improving lung capacity (pranayarmic) and lymphatic circulation, increasing blood flow, and releasing tension and pain from the body especially the spine.

The ancient Indian sanskrit term Samadhi best describes this experience; Samadhi is the bliss in which one disappears, it is immensely beneficial to disappear, to take a break from the worrying mind, but don't worry - you will come back!

Being immersed with ears under the water and eyes closed brings a deep silence to the session. In this relaxed state you will be held, cradled, massaged, stretched, flexed and rotated .This combination of movements releases tight muscles and stiffness in the joints, and together with the flow of water over the body, has a powerful balancing effect on the body/mind, releasing pain and stress and repressed emotions.

As gravity is not pulling on the legs or arms, the spine is free, giving immediate relief to any spinal condition especially neck or low back pain. The worrying mind relaxes and disappears, somehow melting into the water bringing a deep sense of freedom, and, magically stress and worries also disappear.

Everybody has an unconscious memory of being in the mother's womb, 9 months in warm water bliss, nothing to do, no worries or concerns, no problems, just being. Our mothers were taking care of everything. We invite you to experience this blissful state again the bliss of Samadhi, The bliss of just being.

Seed Ayurvedic Massage was created from extensive experience combining traditional Asian and contemporary Western techniques. Sw. Anand Subuddha has been a long-time student and assistant to the world-famous master Kusum Modak in Pune, India, who combined in her technique stimulating massage and bodywork with Aiyangar therapeutic yoga.

This unique massage is a deep and sensitive bodywork combining:

• Oil & herbal powder to regulate strokes and stimulate blood & lymphatic circulation.
• Deep & reassuring strokes with hands and feet to open the body and release toxins, tensions & blocks.
• Yogic stretches - a combination to open joints and re-educate the body map (in the brain).
• Directions to maximize stretches & expand the body.
• Respiration - encouraging deeper and more natural breathing
• Contemporary therapies: meditation, breathwork, dialoguing, joint release & Alexander technique.

This provocative yet deeply relaxing combination increases the body's vital energy (prana) flow from feet to head. Easy to diagnose with, it can help pinpoint the root problem areas of body and bring relief to the symptoms manifesting (e.g. back, neck knee pain etc,). Once balance is restored it is an excellent weekly maintenance for people who are interested in preventative health care.
