We tend to think of ageing as inevitable decline. In Ayurveda, ageing is understood a little differently.
It’s an indication of increased or imbalanced Vata energy (this is the element of air and space): dryness, depletion, nervous system overstimulation, and gradual tissue breakdown. When Vata accumulates, we feel it in our skin, our joints, our sleep, and our mental clarity.
Self Abhyanga is one of the simplest practices prescribed to slow that process. It is a daily ritual of anointing the body with warm oil to nourishes dryness, rhythmic pressure to support lymphatic flow and steady touch to signal safety to the nervous system.
It’s about circulation. Repair. Hormonal balance. Joint longevity. Resilience.
I’m teaching this practice in a way that is practical, sustainable, and grounded in both classical wisdom and modern understanding.
