Potli and Ayurvedic massage
Warm potlis pressed and rolled along the body, in a slow rhythm.
Inside the Ayurveda room
Potli means a small cloth bundle. In a potli massage, warm bundles are pressed and rolled along the body in a slow rhythm. It takes place in the Ayurveda room at Leevora Aesthetics, Subhash Nagar metro station, alongside other Ayurvedic massages. Your therapist first asks where to focus and how firm to go.
The Ayurveda room is one of the wellness rooms. A massage here is time lying still while someone else does the work. If anything feels wrong, say so, and the therapist will change it.

Wear loose, comfortable clothes. If the steam room is part of the plan, mention it when you reserve so we can set the order. Leave some time afterwards; a massage squeezed between meetings is hard to enjoy.
