Shirodhara feels unlike almost anything else.

During Shirodhara, a continuous stream of warm, herb-infused oil flows gently over the forehead in a slow, rhythmic motion. This deeply meditative ritual has long been used in Ayurveda to quiet the senses, settle the mind, and invite the body into profound rest.

At Surya, experience Shirodhara in our Nourish & Restore treatment, beginning with a luxurious full-body Four-Handed Abhyanga using warm Ayurvedic oils and intentional touch to nourish the skin and help the body soften. Then, Shirodhara - a moment to simply lie still, receive, and let the rest of the world fall away.

And when you leave Surya, the ritual doesn’t have to end. Bring the practice of Abhyanga home with our Massage & Body Oils, created for your own moments of self-massage, nourishment, and care.

Sometimes the simplest rituals are the ones we return to again and again. 🌙

One of Martha’s favorite bedtime practices is also one of the easiest: massage a little warm ghee into the soles of your feet before sleep.

A slow, gentle massage can be a beautiful way to ground the body, quiet the senses, and signal that it’s time to rest.

It’s a ritual Martha loves for adults, children, and even little ones - a few minutes of nurturing touch before drifting off to sleep.

Warm ghee. Gentle hands. A few quiet minutes before bed.

Martha created our Energizing Body Oil for the days when you’re craving a little more movement, lightness, and vitality.

This Kapha-balancing blend brings together tulsi, mustard seed, cardamom, eucalyptus, sesame oil, and other Ayurvedic botanicals to nourish the skin while creating a ritual that feels bright, awakening, and invigorating.

The secret is in how you use it: warm the oil slightly, then massage toward the heart, using circular motions around the joints and longer, back-and-forth strokes along the muscles. Keep your touch lighter and a little more energetic than you might with a grounding Abhyanga.

Nourish your skin. Wake up your senses. Get things moving with the Energizing Body OIl at the link in bio.

Some recipes are created. Others are inherited. 🌿

The story of Martha’s Balancing Collagen Cream begins with her own family - a recipe passed down through generations, rooted in the belief that the most beautiful care can come from nature.

Martha took that foundation and brought to it decades of Ayurvedic knowledge, thoughtfully blending time-honored ingredients and deeply nourishing botanicals to create a cream that feels as luxurious as it is intentional.

Rich, restorative, and made to become part of your everyday ritual, it’s a little piece of Martha’s family history - reimagined through the wisdom that has shaped her life’s work.

From her family, to Surya, to your daily ritual. ✨

“The Ayurvedic goodness with a unique blend of ingredients created to work cohesively together and give us our best skin - the Collagen Cream.

Some botanicals are treasured not only for what they do, but for the care they require.

In Ayurveda, saffron has long been revered for its ability to support radiant skin and overall well-being. Each delicate thread is harvested entirely by hand and patiently prepared over several days, a process that reflects the same intention behind every Surya formulation.

You’ll find this remarkable botanical in our Balancing Collagen Cream and Rose Petal Abhyanga Massage & Body Oil, where it works alongside thoughtfully selected herbs and oils to nourish the skin and transform everyday care into ritual.

Because the most meaningful things are never rushed. They are cultivated with patience, craftsmanship, and care.

There is so much beauty in a woman who has lived.

In the way faces soften and change. In the lines that hold years of laughter, feeling, growth, and experience. Martha has never believed that beauty is something we should chase backward in time.

Instead, we can care for the skin we’re in - nourishing it with beautiful, natural ingredients, honoring what it needs, and allowing it to change alongside us.

Ayurveda teaches us to live in relationship with nature, and aging is part of that nature. Not something to erase, but something to tend to with love.

May we care for our skin deeply. May we nourish ourselves generously. And may we never mistake getting older for becoming less beautiful. 🌿

Under the full moon, an invitation to return to yourself. The full moon reminds us that everything moves in cycles. A beautiful moment to listen inward, let go of what no longer serves you, and make space for what comes next.

Begin with a mantra - something you need, something you’re ready to welcome, or simply a few words that bring you back to the present.

Then warm Rose Petal Abhyanga Massage & Body Oil between your hands and move slowly across the body, letting each stroke become part of the ritual. Cooling rose, brightening saffron, and nourishing botanical oils care for the skin as intentional touch invites you to soften and release, and welcome renewal with the Earth’s phases. 

A little moonlight. A little rose. A ritual of renewal. 🌹
