“Ease year-end fatigue with MYRAH’s holistic recovery therapies that realign energy, relax muscles, and restore mental calm.”
As the year draws to a close, life in Mumbai often accelerates instead of slowing down. Deadlines, social commitments, weddings, travel, family gatherings, and endless to-do lists can leave you running on empty. Your mind feels overstimulated, your body feels heavy and sore, and even sleep doesn’t always feel truly restful. December becomes the month when you finish the year for everyone else – but rarely pause to reset for yourself.
At MYRAH, the Mind-Body Reset philosophy is simple: when your nervous system, muscles, and emotions are cared for together, recovery becomes deeper, more meaningful, and longer lasting. Across MYRAH’s locations in Juhu, Marine Drive, and Santacruz, December is dedicated to holistic recovery rituals that help you slow down, breathe, and begin 2026 feeling more grounded and energised.
Why Year-End Exhaustion Feels So Intense
Year-end fatigue is rarely just physical. It is a layered experience:
- Mental overload from decisions, deadlines, and digital noise.
- Emotional strain from transitions, responsibilities, and expectations.
- Physical tension from long hours at a desk, commuting, travel, or lack of movement.
The body responds by tightening muscles, shortening breath, and shifting into a constant “alert” mode. Over time, this can show up as:
- Stiff neck, shoulders, and back.
- Headaches and restless sleep.
- Heavy legs, sluggishness, and general fatigue.
- A sense of being “wired and tired” at the same time.
MYRAH’s December recovery edit is designed to gently interrupt this pattern – using touch, warmth, rhythm, and intention to guide you back into a more relaxed, steady state.
The MYRAH Mind-Body Reset Philosophy
Every MYRAH ritual is created with the understanding that body and mind are inseparable. The goal is not just to ease muscles, but to soften the way you feel inside your own skin. December recovery therapies are:
- Holistic – addressing physical tension, nervous system overwhelm, and energetic imbalance.
- Personalised – adapted to your stress patterns, lifestyle, and comfort with pressure.
- Unhurried – giving your body enough time to transition from “doing” to “receiving.”
You can explore the complete spa menu on the MYRAH services, or design a focused December recovery ritual that feels tailor-made for you.
Core December Recovery Massages for Deep Unwinding
1. Swedish Massage – Gentle Reset for the Overworked
For those feeling mentally overloaded but physically more “average” in tension, the Swedish Massage is a beautiful starting point. Using medium pressure and long, flowing strokes, it:
- Encourages circulation and soothes tired muscles.
- Signals the nervous system to shift out of stress mode.
- Helps the mind move from constant thought to quiet observation.
It is ideal for guests who want a soft landing into relaxation – a way to exhale the year without intense deep-pressure work.
2. Balinese & Asian Blend Massage – Structured Relief for Stressed Bodies
When stress settles into the body as tight shoulders, stiff backs, and heavy legs, Balinese Massage and the Asian Blend Massage offer more focused relief. These medium-to-hard pressure rituals:
- Combine kneading, stretching, and pressure techniques along key muscle groups.
- Loosen knots from long hours of sitting, travelling, or standing.
- Help release the “armour” your body has quietly built over the year.
They are particularly effective for those who describe themselves as “constantly on the move” or “always at a screen”.
3. Sports Deep Tissue Massage – For Intense, Localised Tension
If your year has involved intense work, workouts, travel, or chronic stiffness, the Sports Deep Tissue Massage becomes a powerful ally. Using hard pressure and detailed techniques, this ritual:
- Targets deep muscular tension and stubborn knots.
- Improves mobility and helps restore a sense of physical ease.
- Leaves you feeling lighter, stronger, and more aligned.
It is ideal for those who say, “I feel like my body is carrying the whole year.” Your therapist will always adjust pressure to your comfort and consent.
4. Aromatherapy Signature Massage – Emotional & Mental Rebalancing
Sometimes the body is not as exhausted as the mind. The Aromatherapy Signature Massage combines gentle, medium-pressure touch with carefully selected aromatic blends to:
- Ease emotional fatigue and mental restlessness.
- Encourage deeper, more natural breathing.
- Create a cocoon-like experience where you can simply “be” without demands.
This December ritual is perfect for those who feel sensitive, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained as the year closes.
5. Lomi Lomi & Four Hands Massage – Surrender & Complete Letting Go
For a more immersive reset, the Lomi Lomi Massage uses broad, wave-like strokes inspired by Hawaiian tradition, creating a sense of continuous, nurturing flow. The Four Hands Massage, performed by two therapists in synchrony, elevates this surrender further:
- The mind finds it difficult to “track” four hands, making it easier to quiet mental chatter.
- The body experiences touch as a seamless tapestry, not isolated points.
- The overall effect is one of deep, luxurious surrender – ideal as a year-end gift to yourself.
6. Thai Massage & Foot Reflexology – Dynamic Reset for Energy & Vitality
For those who prefer more active, movement-based release, Thai Massage offers assisted stretches and pressure along energy lines, enlivening the body while releasing tension. Foot Reflexology complements this by:
- Focusing on the feet – the foundation that carries you all year.
- Stimulating reflex points that correspond to various body systems.
- Encouraging a sense of overall balance and “light feet” after a long season.
These rituals are wonderfully suited to guests who say, “I feel drained, but I don’t want only stillness – I want to feel awake again.”
7. Lymphatic Drainage Massage – Gentle Decompression from Within
When stress is combined with heaviness, puffiness, or sluggishness, the Lymphatic Drainage Massage offers a softer, yet deeply restorative approach. Using delicate, rhythmic strokes, it:
- Supports the body’s natural detox pathways.
- Encourages a sense of inner lightness and clarity.
- Is especially suited to guests who prefer nurturing, gentle touch.
Supporting Rituals: Body Care & Facials for Complete Recovery
To deepen your mind-body reset, MYRAH’s body care and facial experiences add another layer of restoration.
Body Care: Fruit Enzyme Polish, Detox Polish & Luxury Envelopment
- Fruit Enzyme Polish – Gently buffs away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, more luminous texture.
- Detox Polish – Refines the skin’s surface while supporting a feeling of renewal and clarity.
- Luxury Envelopment – A cocooning wrap that hydrates, comforts, and leaves the body feeling soft and cherished.
When combined with your chosen massage, these rituals create a head-to-toe December reset: the outside of your body feels as refreshed as the inside.
Skin Care: Calming, Hydrating & Rebalancing Facials
For guests whose stress shows clearly on the face – dullness, dehydration, or fatigue – MYRAH’s facial care edit includes:
- Hyaluronic Facial – For deep hydration and plump, comforted skin.
- Senskin Facial – Designed for sensitive, easily-reactive skin needing calm and balance.
- Biome Facial – To support the skin’s natural ecosystem and resilience.
- Multivit Facial – A vitamin-rich boost for tired, lacklustre complexions.
Your therapist will guide you to the facial that best supports your unique stress patterns and skin needs.

FAQs: Mind-Body Reset December Recovery Rituals at MYRAH
1. Which massage should I choose if I feel both mentally and physically exhausted?
If you are deeply tired in both body and mind, the Balinese Massage, Asian Blend Massage, or Aromatherapy Signature Massage are beautiful options. Balinese and Asian Blend work more on muscular tension, while Aromatherapy pairs nurturing touch with calming aromas for emotional and mental reset. Your therapist can help you decide based on how your body feels on the day.
2. Can I combine a massage with body polish or a facial in one visit?
Yes. Many guests choose to pair a Swedish, Balinese, or Aromatherapy Signature Massage with a Fruit Enzyme Polish or Detox Polish, or add a Hyaluronic, Senskin, Biome, or Multivit Facial for a more complete mind-body reset. The team will help you structure your session so it feels unhurried and cohesive.
3. How often should I book recovery therapies in December?
This depends on your lifestyle and stress levels. Some guests find a single, extended ritual enough to reset for the season, while others prefer shorter, more frequent sessions across the month. Even one carefully chosen therapy can create noticeable lightness, but a series can help maintain balance through a busy calendar.
