The Shanti Spa Experience
The Stones:
Volcanic basalt stones, known for their heat retention properties, are carefully selected. These stones are heated to a temperature that stimulates but never scalds the skin.
The Technique:
The warm stones are strategically placed on key energy points, known as chakras, and are also used to massage the body. The heat penetrates deep into the muscles, melting away tension and stress.
