What others are saying about the spa:

Karen Tina Harrison, NY Mag says,

"As the name implies, this no-frills retreat employs India’s time-tested approach to wellness; accordingly, sessions commence with a checklist analysis to determine your “dosha” or body/personality type: vata (skinny/nervous), pitta (muscular/energetic), kapha (fleshy/placid), or some combination therein. Ayurvedic-trained practitioners then gear treatments towards your given composition. Similarly, facials incorporate botanical masks mixed specifically for skin type, and, in addition to your average steam-and-cleanse, include a healing oil massage of the hands, feet, chest, and scalp. Just as Ayurveda has aimed to restore balance in its practitioners for the past 5,000 years, the services here look to do the same."

Kate Lowenstein, TimeOut NY says,

"After determining my dosha (the ayurvedic classification of body and mind), a therapist smoothed my skin with almond and sesame oil, grinding her knuckles into the knot-ridged arches of my feet and using her fingertips to loosen my calves. I emerged softer of skin and muscle than I’ve been all winter. Best part: No product contains preservatives or chemicals. You could eat everything they put on you (but we wouldn’t recommend it)."

Alison Foster, 25Tuesdays Editor and FosterFitness Blogger says,

"I always thought that deep tissue massage was where it was at for aching muscles and relaxation. No pain, no gain, right? I am pleased to announce that a calm and muscle relaxing massage can be had without any of the torture at Fine Living New York Ayurveda. I completed my Ayurvedic diagnosis to find out what type of body condition I had and then my practitioner customized the massage just for me! I chose the silk gloves for exfoliation (FYI- not silky, but your skin does feel like silk when it's over) and the hour-long Abhayanga massage. Calm music played while my practitioner used firm strokes and heated oils to work my back, neck, scalp, arms, legs, and even my feet. Every knot and ounce of tension was gone and I felt rejuvenated- like a yoga class without the yoga."
