Gemstones not merely hot stones!
Why I am emphasising this, is that I went in to the Aura Spa thinking I was getting a hot stone massage but was pleasantly surprised to find, instead, large gem stones heated on a pad that were going to impact my body. The heated gemstone therapy uses several precious stones such as Jasper for self preservation, Aventurine to induce relaxation, Cornelian to enhance courage, Jade to create calm and balance. The Japanese ANMA technique they follow for the massage is a recently popularised way of using shiatsu combined with the stretching and pulling of the affected areas of muscle tension to encourage proper flow of blood and lymph flow.
The spa is small but very compact and I found it perfectly run by their spa director, Megha Dinesh. This is the only spa that also offered to blow dry my hair after the massage! Nice no?
Thank you Priya, I'm sure you were behind this invite!!
