EDIT: 2+ years later and this is still the only place I use for massage! It has remained consistently wonderful but the space (and friendship!) has been upgraded. I love Himanshu, and promise you will too!

Where to begin?! I came here on a whim thanks to the 2 for $69 groupon and I am SO happy I did - Himanshu provided hands down (no pun intended!) THE best deep tissue massage I have ever gotten, and I am no stranger to massages! The pressure was perfect and he verified several times that it was OK for me or asked how I was feeling. I had never been massaged by a man before and was a little hesitant, but he was completely professional, cool and his conversation was light and hysterical, though if you are the type who prefers a silent massage I am positive he would pick up on that and just let you relax. Himanshu reached places in my muscles that have definitely never been reached before - in a good way! I attribute this to his unique style, including climbing on the bed itself and having me put my arms up on a chair (he asked if I was ok with that first of course). I can't find one knot in my shoulders or back as I type this, and I feel totally loose and euphoric. The studio itself is small and simple, the bed and sheets were clean and comfy and the music was perfect. The hot towels on my feet/calves/neck/face at the very end were a great touch, where he encouraged me to lie for a few minutes and "enjoy the moment" before getting dressed. I too bought a package which came with a gift certificate for a friend, and he upgraded my second Groupon massage from 60- to 90- minutes. I cannot wait for my next appointment with Himanshu and plan to start attending yoga here as well. Go , you WILL not regret it!
