BEAUTY PATHS for the BODY
BEAUTY PATHS AND TREATMENTS IN HARMONY WITH TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
TAO ANTICELLULITE
THE MEETING OF THE THREE YINS
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
Bringing what is still and stagnant back into motion by unblocking deep tissue; loosening, grinding, and draining, allowing it to flow; these are the aims of our path. The effects of these techniques are amplified by the stimulation of specific acupuncture points (such as San Yin Jiao, the meeting of the three Yins, point 6 of the Spleen), which are indispensable allies for unblocking lymph stasis. A personalised path, where we work on the customer’s critical points as identified by our professional staff; a combination of deep manual techniques which act on the adipose tissue and lighter manual techniques to unblock the lymphatic system.
REMODELLING TAO
WU XING
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
A series of manual revitalising techniques to sculpt and reshape, according to the five movements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Wu Xing (Wood-Fire-Earth- Metal-Water); the tools that help us along this path are re-oxygenating and purifying scrubs, lipo-sculptor mud, modelling lotions, oils and creams containing the active ingredients of plants native to the Garda environment. A unique journey towards a new shape for both body and mind.
TAO REMODELLING WITH CUPPING
BA HUO GUAN
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
Ba Huo Guan is the Chinese term for Cupping. This is an ancient technique used in Chinese Medicine that, over the centuries, has been updated and perfected to regulate the flow of Qi (energy) and Xue (Blood) in the body by stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation. This ancient technique, now highly appreciated both by celebrities and athletes, accompanied by specific manual techniques, allows the muscles to relax, treats localised adiposity and firms tissues. This improved energy flow will enhance body shape, resulting in a new silhouette.
TAO ANTISTRESS
THE SHEN GATE
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
Deriving from the fundamental principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the concept of the indivisibility of our material, physical being and our psycho-emotional being, (Shen), which is the more subtle of the two. This path applies the awareness of this reciprocal relationship to prevent and alleviate the many disorders related to the accumulation of stress. Rubbing, mobilisation, undulations… movements that follow one another amidst unique, intense sounds and scents, allowing us to reach a state of relaxation, profound wellbeing, and rediscovered harmony.
REVITALISING TAO
THE VALLEY OF QI
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
Our life is regulated by the movement of Qi, the vital energy that flows within us. Tensions, resentment, worries and many of the emotions we experience in excess, change this energy flow, and have consequences on our health. Anger leads to an ascending Qi, brooding or worry slows it down, fear causes it to decrease, and sadness dissolves it. This path winds its way through active and stimulating procedures and manual techniques to relieve muscular tension and reduce cortisol levels, while at the same time stimulating the production of endorphins that relieve cramps and pain. These innovative techniques are designed to eliminate muscular-skeletal tension and activate muscular awakening and the restoration of Vital Energy.
TAO DECONTRACTING BACK MASSAGE
THE TEMPLE COLUMN
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
The spine is the column that supports our body, which is why it deserves special attention and care. Here is a set of treatments designed to alleviate cervical and lumbar problems without neglecting the body as a whole. In this path, the most ancient Eastern philosophies meet modern western massage techniques, leading to the restoration of the psycho-physical and energetic balance. Respecting the specific needs of each individual, this path provides a unique experience.
HAEMOLYMPHATIC TAO
SHUI DAO
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
Shui Dao means “Way of Water”. Water, as ancient Chinese wisdom teaches us, is soft and yielding, but it wins over all that is hard and rigid. In this treatment we will therefore allow it to flow, through specific massages with active manual techniques which rebalance the energy flowing through our body’s energy channels, unblocking the blood and lymphatic circulation and encouraging the production of new cells. Thanks to the skillful work of our staff and the use of specially designed oils and creams, stasis is counteracted, and energy is released.
RELAXING TAO
YIN & YANG
5-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 550
3-STOP PATH, EACH 50 MIN. € 340
This path includes all-embracing manual techniques to bring a new balance between the Yin and Yang energies. Nothing is absolute and everything is in constant movement, like day and night; like our inhalations and exhalations; and like the rhythms and seasons of the universe, which follow one another in eternal renewal. This is a path to follow to find new, substantial balance in the many dualities that must exist harmoniously within us.
