SERVICES
Massage Therapies and Yoga styles available at the Rarest Gem include:
Shiatsu Therapy is a Japanese form of body work therapy. The word Shiatsu literally translates as finger pressure, although therapists will also use their palms, forearms, knees and feet. Shiatsu therapy involves applying pressure along the meridians harmonising energy flow and stimulating the body's innate ability to heal itself. The client stays fully clothed and lies on a futon which is on the floor. Shiatsu therapists aim to normalise the flow of Ki (energy) in the body by applying pressure to obstructed or weak areas. This relieves symptoms and helps to resolve conditions improving the client's strength and vitality. Shiatsu is good for relieving pain, tension and stress, chronic fatigue, headaches & migraines, shoulders, neck and back pain, and balancing body and mind, just to name a few.
Shirodhara is one of the most relaxing therapies available. 'Shiro' means head and 'dhara' means stream, therefore, shirodhara is the continuous flow of oil over the head and scalp. Lying on your back on a massage table while warm oil flows in a continuous rhythmic stream across your forehead, your mind is lulled into a state of serenity and expanded consciousness. Oil stroking the third eye has a reflex balancing effect on the deepest recesses of your brain. Profoundly relaxing, the nervous system unwinds, the master endocrine organs the pituitary and pineal glands are balanced and pleasure neurotransmitters such as serotonin flood your cells.
Indian Head Massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing, Indian Head Massage is great for relieving stress and tension and leaves you feeling revived and totally relaxed. Massaging your scalp, ears and face helps you to relax and unwind. This will allow you to breathe deeper and feel a greater sense of calm and relaxation. This form of treatment is good for relieving eyestrain, insomnia, headaches and migraine, relaxing muscles and tones facial muscles. It also helps localised blood and lymphatic circulation, boosts the immune system, can restore joint movement and most of all reduces stress and anxiety.
Hot Stone Massage - by placing the hot stones on the body and arranging them along the energy centres of the body, a healing process occurs. The deep penetrating heat of the volcanic basalt stone is combined with traditional massage techniques to release your muscular tension, headache, neck shoulder and lower back pain as well as balancing the mind and spirit. The heat of the massage stones warms the skin, which allows for the absorption of moisturizing and therapeutic oils, while simultaneously preparing the body so the massage therapist can work into the deeper muscle layers. Some of the benefits of this form of massage include the increased local circulation, improved blood flow and an ability to achieve a deeper relaxation, harmonising your energy. Basalt stone also supports the release of toxins, re energising your body and creating a sense of well being.
Our yoga classes are kept small so that our teachers can help you on a more individual level.
Kundalini Yoga is a comprehensive technology that involves breath, mantra, movement, and asana. It works on all your charkas, your immune system, your nervous system, your brain, and your aura. This work quickly brings you to the point where you can deeply meditate. Other yogas can have this affect, but they take much longer. Kundalini Yoga is potent – it is about finding your destiny in this lifetime and it is about doing it while you continue to live your daily life. There is no need to retreat to the caves to know your truth – try Kundalini Yoga.
Hatha yoga is a system of physical exercises designed to increase bodily wellbeing, strength and health. With its emphasis on body postures and movements that include stretching and holding, Hatha yoga also incorporates breathing exercises. As you progress with Hatha yoga, you will gain greater flexibility in your body and mind. It is a great way of exercising, stretching, and freeing the body so it can be a healthy, long-lived, and vital instrument of the mind and soul.
Restorative Yoga is for everyone. Each pose is individualised to suit any injury or tightness. In Restorative Yoga sessions your time is devoted to intentional relaxation. A sequence of supported postures is offered to provide a completely supportive conducive environment for total relaxation. Your body is fully supported in a yoga posture so that little physical effort is needed to maintain the position. Restorative postures are generally held for anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes allowing the benefits of the pose to fully permeate the body, mind, and heart.
Prenatal Yoga - inside you is a wisdom that intuitively understands about the very natural process of birth. Our teacher will help you reconnect with this wisdom, guiding you through a class specifically designed for the journey of pregnancy. Linking yoga postures with the breath will lead you to new discoveries, bringing awareness to the mind, body and spirit, and also the spirit of your baby.
