Left with a level of physical release I didn't know I needed. The therapist explained every point before pressing it.

Overview
A 60-minute standalone treatment applying graduated pressure to the body's marma points, without a full Panchakarma commitment.
The Story
Marma therapy is normally folded into the retreat's full Panchakarma sequence, but the Menon family now offers it as a standalone session for guests who want a taste of the diagnostic touch without the three-week programme.
What to Expect
A trained therapist locates and works through 20-30 marma points across the body, following a map specific to your dosha assessment.
Ideal For
Guests curious about Ayurvedic bodywork beyond a standard massage, without committing to the full retreat programme.
What's Included
- Dosha assessment
- Marma point treatment
