Ananda Spa in central Prague has become a place where ancient Indian Ayurveda meets the lifestyle of a modern European city.

Ayurveda is not simply a form of massage. It is a holistic medical tradition that seeks to prevent illness, restore balance, and treat root causes rather than surface symptoms.

At its core are the three doshas, or energies, believed to shape each individual:

• Vata (air and space) – movement, breathing, nervous system
• Pitta (fire and water) – metabolism, digestion, transformation
• Kapha (earth and water) – immunity, stability, structure

When these forces are balanced, body and mind work in harmony. When they are not, discomfort, illness, or fatigue often follow.

Unlike Western medicine, which usually intervenes once problems appear, Ayurveda aims to prevent imbalance through diet, lifestyle guidance, herbal remedies, and personalised therapies.

Personalised Consultations

Every treatment package at Ananda Spa begins with a private consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor from India.

Rather than a quick check, the session involves a detailed discussion of diet, lifestyle, sleep, and stress levels, followed by a traditional pulse diagnosis. This examination helps determine a person’s dominant dosha and any imbalances, forming the basis for a tailored treatment plan.

Traditional Treatments

The spa offers a wide range of Ayurvedic therapies, each designed to support balance and wellbeing. Among the most requested treatments are:

• Abhyanga Deep – an intensive, full-body massage with warm herbal oils and firm strokes, easing muscle tension, stimulating circulation, and aiding detoxification.
• Abhyanga Deep + Vasti – combining massage with the placement of heated herbal oil on the lower back, allowing deep penetration into the spine to relieve stiffness and calm the nervous system.
• Abhyanga & Shirodhara – pairing massage with a steady stream of warm oil poured across the forehead, a therapy traditionally associated with mental clarity and relaxation.
• Podikizhi & Swedana – using warm herbal pouches to massage joints and muscles, followed by a herbal steam bath to boost circulation and flexibility.

Visitors often report improvements not only in physical symptoms such as back pain or stiffness, but also in sleep quality, energy levels, and stress management. Doctors also provide lifestyle guidance and herbal supplements to help sustain the effects beyond the treatment room.
