Traditional Ayurvedic practice focuses on the five energy channels of the head, feet, and hands. Ayurvedic herbs are applied to the five points, followed by a nourishing, rhythmic, flowing massage with heated therapeutic oils. Special emphasis is placed on the Marma points, the vital energy points that move electromagnetic energy through the body. Finally, a traditional Ayurvedic Balancing Bowl is used on the feet to balance the doshas and remove excess heat and energy from the body. A sublime combination of polishing, moisturizing, and massage, this Signature Burke Williams body treatment is the ultimate experience in relaxation and healing.

The ancient yet ageless practice of Ayurvedic medicine has been in existence for over 5,000 years. In Ayurveda, health is defined as the dynamic state of balance between mind, body and environment.
