A healthy and delightful break at Shvasa Spa is not an expensive option but, yes, you’ll have to plan a visit to Gurgaon to experience this kind of treat.
On hearing the name ‘Gurgaon’, I usually run a mile. For, as someone with a hectic working life, activities that happen away from Delhi are never on the agenda. But when I was invited to try the rejuvenating Shvasa Spa therapies and pampering treatments - which ranges from massages, body scrubs and wraps – away from the mad, mad world – it appeared as something that’s too good to miss.
As soon as I arrived at the glossy and radiant complex of Hyatt Regency, I met the friendly staff who explained me the huge range of spa therapies, health benefits and the importance of relieving stress and relaxing.
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'Shvasan', Shvasa refers to 'breathing or breath' without which our existence is futile. Keeping this in mind, the spa promotes wellness by helping the guests rediscover the calm ritual of breathing, indulging in stress-free workouts and personal development.
Not one of those who would have taken too long to learn about the therapies, I made my way straight to the spotless spa room.
With the huge list of therapies - Massage Therapy, Face Therapy, Ayurvedic Experience, Hand – available, my spa experience kicked off with a good therapeutic foot massage.
Before starting the session, my masseur soaked my feet in a bowl of warm, scented water. She filled a large bowl with warm water and added essential oil to it. She put my feet in the water and let me luxuriate for as long as I wanted before starting the foot massage.
The 30-minute-long sublime massage treatment creates a relaxing experience and revitalizes energy flow. This treatment benefits the entire body by stimulating the reflex zones of the feet.
Aromatherapy Massage is the ancient art of Arornatherapy that helps the guests experience the healing powers of essential oil. It combines a sense of touch and helps in removal of toxins, activating the body's natural immune system. Arornatherapy nourishes, soothes and purifies the body while creating a deep sense of relaxation.
Next was the 60-minute revitalize face therapy, a deep pore cleansing facial created to purify the skin. This treatment helps the skin with the desquamation process that slows down due to excess of oil. It helps to remove excess oil and stimulate circulation.
To all those who spend their days hunched over a laptop, or have the habit of sitting with a wrong posture, do feel pressure in both neck and shoulder areas. To get rid of stiff shoulders and avoid inflexibility in the neck, Shvasa Spa offers a shoulder and scalp massage. The 30-minute long session helps one in lessening tension in required areas with a pressure point massage on the scalp and deep stretching movements on the neck and shoulders.
Don’t think much about the travel to Gurgaon, just focus on the benefits of treating yourself with a spa day at Shvasa.
Our Opinion: Shvasa Spa offers an unforgettable session to guests who want to experience a perfect balance of mind and body.
