What? Udvartana Where? La Fontaine Spa Tucked within the peaceful setting of La Fontaine Centre of Contemporary Art is a capacious spa that focuses on all kinds of facial and body treatments. What makes this venue stand out from its competitors, apart from its one-of-a-kind ambience, is the availability of ayurvedic treatments. Specialising in our inner energies, these procedures use the elements of nature to heal the mind-body system after determining what kind of ‘dosha’ or body type you have. The udvartana is an exceptionally effective slimming treatment that exfoliates your skin and focuses on cellulite build-up. This improves blood circulation in order to enhance the skin’s structure and appearance. The treatment is followed by a traditional herbal steam bath which detoxifies the body. Other equally extraordinary therapies include the abhyanga (an energising massage), the shirodhara (to balance the deepest recesses of the brain) and the njavarakizhi (which helps alleviate joint pain and reduce high blood pressure). Call 17 230-123 or visit www. lafontaineartcentre.net. What? Fire and Water Where?
