A dive into the best therapists and spas for authentic Ayurvedic body treatments in New York City.
They say you’re a New Yorker when you’ve lived—and survived—in this city for 10 years. I’m close to that milestone, but nearing it made me realize what I was giving up to be one. At the top of this list were authentic Ayurvedic body treatments. I used to get them regularly in my previous life in Mumbai and even made sure to book multiple treatments on my annual visits there after I moved away.
Armed with this mission, I tapped a network of New Yorkers to find masseuses who practiced Ayurveda that was as authentic as possible, and it led me to these therapists and spas.Misa Kubo spent years training under Naina Marballi, a renowned New York–based Ayurvedic physician, and offers treatments in a cozy, tranquil room in Murray Hill.
My vata was high and dominating that day, so she picked sesame and grapeseed oils for my abhyanga and added a Shirodhara treatment with frankincense and a dry head massage. We started with the latter, and it was the best 10 minutes of my session. She massaged my scalp with sharp, powerful movements followed by strong, invigorating taps .
When I was belly down on the table, Kubo started with a genius opener: A heavy gong was placed on my back and struck. This is the ritual that signals the start of the treatment, and the physical vibrations from the gong were a mini sound bath pulsing through my body in waves. To be honest, I would have paid good money for a half hour of that alone. The abhyanga itself was solid and functional.
