The 75-minute treatment started with Joy scrubbing my feet. Usually a standard practice in spas, Joy informed me that in Kundalini massage, it becomes important to activate the marma points (areas where, according to yogic studies, energies are hidden) on the feet. As I lay on the bed, Kundalini oil was slathered all over my lower back and Joy spent a good amount of time easing the blockages there while gently stroking the marma points there. A large part of the treatment is dedicated to your back, but feet, head, neck and shoulders also get their due, though the impact is not the same.
Being a yoga practitioner myself, I found the therapist's enthusiasm in educating me about Kundalini massage quite helpful. But the real high point was the technique used in the massage. A strained back is often a tricky terrain since any pressure can feel overbearing. Not this one, though.
Though there is no doubting the efficacy of the Ila Kundalini massage, at Dh650, the cost may be considered too steep for a treatment that more or less focuses on a specific part of the body. The music, while soothing, could do with a bit of range.
