§ Droni

The Droni is the traditional massage table of Ayurveda and it is made from a solid piece of Neem Wood. Every part of the Neem Tree is used in Ayurveda for its bitter detoxifying qualities and also its natural antiseptic properties.
A hard surface seems like it would be an uncomfortable massage but when everything is warm and your skin is coated in oil, it comfortably facilitates a deeper reach into your body. As your therapist presses down the table presses up allowing your joints and fascia to open gently to the reach of the healing oil. |
